Detailed all sky model.
|
Hi team,
if I make a detailed all sky model with my FSQ106 at 530mm is it still valid (ie work) if I use a reducer (~382mm) or extender (~848mm). if so other than a recal is there anything else I need to do? thanks Matt. |

The model will always be valid regardless of what scope you ultimately use for imaging.

Hi Matt,
if I make a detailed all sky model with my FSQ106 at 530mm is it still valid (ie work) if I use a reducer (~382mm)The model will work okay in this case. Doing a RECAL from APPM will synch the mount into the model. -Ray |

Is it necessary to do the RECAL from APPM? Or is an application such as NINA or SGP ok?They are ok to use, but using APPM might be a little more accurate because it will use the environmental settings for the refraction calculation. You might consider using APPM for the first RECAL of the night, then use NINA/SGP afterward. -Ray |
