NOTES:
------
(1) Put the 4 inch f/5 refractor back into action. Test show that it can
gain abut 2 to 3 magnitudes visually on the 135mm focal length f/2.8
lens that Ive been using the past few weeks.One disadvantage is
that the field of view is reduced from 7.6 x 5.7 degrees to about
2.05 x 1.54 degrees but for the fainter satellites I need the extra
gain- makes it so much easier to see and measure. The 6 inch f/5
reflector will be put in action in about two sessions time- this
should give another magnitude gain but an even narrower field of
view of 62 x 82 arc minutes. I tried adding a focal reducer to the
4 inch refractor to make it f/2.56 and about double the field of
view but image quality was terrible with severere vignetting.Ill try
doing the same with the 6 inch reflector but do not expect good
quality.
(2) Seeing about 16 arc seconds - no matter how carefully one tries to
focus its impossible to make the stars pinpoint images. Visually the
stars look like shivering lumps of jelly or a dandelion-impossible to
see diffraction rings.
Cheers
Greg
