3 scope comparison raw conv images

#1

Post by Ben Cartwright SASS »

Here are two images from each scope, they are the raw conv files from Astrostakert no changes made to them. The proms on the 120 and 100 are a bit over done, no atmosphere but I the sun was going behind my trees.

I think the Lunt is sharpest, partly due to the glass and partly due to the shorter focal length meaning less atmospheric distortion

Lunt ED102 f/7
Skywatcher ED100 f/9
Celestron XLT120 f/8.3

Shorter focal length does not mean less difficulties from seeing. Especially during the day seeing is very sensitive to aperture not focal length.
