Re: [APML] M13 image



Joe,
 
     I have a Nikon 180 f/2.8 ED lens that for all basic purposes is apochromatic... especially stopped down to f/11 where it will have to be to reduce the moonlight so that I can get a 20 minute exposure. Yes... what I plan to do is shoot an RGB image just like through the scope... dark frames, flat fields... median combines... everything that I normally do that might affect the outcome of the color data. The test object will be the Kodak 21 step tablet... if ANYTHING is out of whack this will show it instantly... I have a lot of experience with this sensitive test... just need Steve Mandell's adapter so I can use the lens. One can go on forever with these tests... but if my results show clean color and density from the highlights to the shadows... I'll be a happy camper.
