October Front Patio Imaging
I’m running a little (okay, a lot – over a month) behind on processing the images I captured from the front patio during a string of clear nights in early October 2023 before we departed for our trip to Los Alamos, New Mexico for the annular solar eclipse. I used Big Bertha, since she wasn’t going along on the eclipse trip and because I had finally done correctly calculated the back focus needed for the field flattener to actually correct coma in the images, rather than exacerbate it. I wanted to give the correctly assembled ASI2400-BB-FF-LeX imaging train a test run.
