| The ASI174MM has larger pixels than the ASI120MM so even with a change from a 2x to a 2.5X powermate I was not getting the same degree of oversampling as before with the ASI120. So I changed to a Barlow giving (with the backspace to the camera chip) about 4x magnification, a measured FL of 15650 and 0.08" / px. With the C14 (Dawes Limit about 0.33") that results in 4.22x oversampling (more than the textbook 3.3x but I am limited by available Powermates/Barlows/spacing). The result here and with a Jupiter image the same night (see below) was much better detail. Some of that was the excellent seeing but the greater oversampling definitelly helped. |
