Nicely done Mark, wow! I never thought about trying the KK's on afocal...!
You've given me ideas
All the best,
Thank you Mark. The KK seemed to work pretty well. Visually the sky would only support the 12.5. I worked up my mag level untill it deteriorated and used the best
EP that my visual observation revealed to put in front of the camera.
This was a bit of a pain. I was not using my motorized mount and had a lot of fun staying on target, focusing, and shooting. I do use a remote shutter so that helped. Next time I try this I am going to get my tracking set up so I can more easily control things. I tried to stack about 15 images that I snapped but it was a bear to align them by hand.
I had fun in the process. This single frame looks much better than the 15 that I tried to stack.
I also discovered that if I adjust the spacing a little with my camera adapter I might be able to increase my image scale a tad. I did not think of this untill I had finished shooting.
Next time I will fiddle with this idea and see if I am correct.
Thank you all for looking and for your encouragements.
And thank you Bryan for fixing my goof on the posting.
Cheers and clear skies to you all.
