First imager

[f15p5]

X2c arrived today, stuck it on my 110mm f7 and tried to get an image. No luck in daylight, so I threw a hirt over the end of the scope and got this. Tried a 20ms exposure, still to sensitive?

Hi

I tried my Lodestar-c with an old 50mm camera lens, at F22 I could get an image, although I've not tried my scope is full daylight.

What were you aiming the scope at?

Yes - the new Lodestars are blazingly fast and I can only 'test' mine after sundown or dusk - unless the scope/camera lens in stopped right down to f/22 [as Paul quotes].  Snapped the crescent moon recently with mono Mx2 in 1ms [1-1000s with SX s/w] @ f/2 and with a little stretching the earthshine popped out !

I sometimes put a cheap C-count CCTV lens on my lodestar (needs a small spacer to focus) to conduct any daylight testing - these work very well and can be had quite cheaply off eBay.
