    Here's a test to see how M1 would turn out with the wrong scope and correct camera. The scope is an ap 130 with 0.72x telecompressor. Should remove the TC but needed it for other objects.

    Captured and processed in Maxim. The outdoor temp was a balmy -5°C and was able to cool the camera to -35°C.

    A Baader FFC could be interfaced to the AP+STC-7 to yield a 3X increase in focal length but not sure about that as the scope goes from f/6 to f/18.
