Wanted to share my early success with the AO-8T as a guider -- no frame registration required for a 36 x 4-minute sequence! Details: 10 micron GM2000HPS II mount Guiding with MaximDL and the AO-8T at 6 Hz Stellarvue SVR102-T (102-mm f/7) with field flattener SBIG STT-8300M cooled to -30°C, pixels binned 2x2 (3.1"/pixel) Baader 7-nm H-a narrowband filter Simple stacking, bpm, and histogram stretch Taken from light-polluted SoCal on an 85% humid evening a few nights ago
Thanks! It's nice when everything works! It is an engineering marvel to watch thirty-six 4-minute frames scroll past and see only the noise vary.
