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!

ar11520 - 15th July
ar11520 @ 2250mm fl 15th July
Taken with the 127mm frac used for the PST mod with the Baader ERF in place and the Lunt wedge. This is a setup that looks like it has some good potential to work well!
