[APML] OT: New widefield CCD shots and a mounting rig to do the jobwith a ccd or a film camera

["Richard Crisp" <rdcrisp@earthlink.net>]

I used my Pentax 6x7 lens, a Takkumar 150mm f/2.8 mounted to my ST10XME via a Finger Lakes DF2 focuser and CFW7 color filter wheel.

 

the widefield of M16/M17/NGC6604 probably looks odd to you but perhaps it is of interest

than there's a plain old RGB widefield of a galaxy-rich region

and then there's the gear I used to take the images: just designed and built by me in the past week

I am confident this rig would do a nice job of holding a Pentax 6x7 camera if so inclined. Note the camera angle adjustment feature

 

best regards

Richard
