AR12717 With The Airylab HaT and Daystar Quark - 4th August
Trying something a bit different this morning, I bought a Celestron 0.7x Edge HD reducer to bring the focal ratio back down to f7, something that i've found with my other scopes to offer a sweet spot with the Daystar Quark. Immediately both visually and also on the laptop screen that contrast was favourable. The seeing was also not too bad so I decided to rattle off some frames of AR12717. Overall i'm pleased with this new configuration and look forward to trialling it further when sky conditions are better. Taken with a PGR IMX249 camera.
