Stellacam with mak


Aussie Observer

Recommended Posts

I finally got the stellacamII working with my Skywatcher 102 Mak last night. I usually use it with a Celestron Nexstar 11. With the mak I couldn't achieve inwards focus so I bought a 0.5x focal reducer and BINGO it worked. I didn't even need to use my barlow as had been suggested. Anyway I tried 47Tuc first and got a great image on the monitor. Then I went to the Tarantula Neb followed by eta Carina. I then tried the Horsehead Neb but by this time it was behind my house. All in all I was very happy with the results. Now I have to work out how to connect to a computer so that I can record these images so that I can use them for my Deep Sky presentations at my astro club.
