ar11520 - 15th July

Taken with the 127mm PST mod @ 1900mm fl this image represents a 2 pane mosaic from the DMK31. Since previous results alot of work has gone into the PST mod itself; the etalon has been collimated with respect to the optical axis, the refractor has been collimated with a cheshire eyepeice, in addition extra baffles have been placeed in the refractor tube. There are hopefully further improvements to be had - its should be possible to further refine the etalon housing and also have plans to increase the number of baffles in the refractor tube.

All in all a good sunday morning!
