CCD Inspector

LX200R with Astro-Physics .67 focal reducer and ST-10XME - The Astro-Physics reducer IS NOT a field flattener so the curvature characteristics are true to the LX200R OTA.

(Below) This was a lesson of what image target NOT TO USE.  Now if I tell you that I ran CCD Inspector on a globular cluster, could you tell me where the "hump" came from?  8-)

   

NP-101 with ST-10XME - I have since added two additional thumbscrews to the NP-101 draw tube and will re-shoot images for analysis.
