Veloce RH 200 with SBIG STL 11000 First Light

Eilat, Israel

Well, this isn't excatly a full image first light... It's the first raw image shot after fitting the new SBIG STL 11000 to the Veloce RH 200, and taking care of the chip's orthogonality to the optical axis.

This is a 5 second image - to make sure that no guiding errors are included, just the pure image only.

I was very happy with the result, in terms of roundness and FWHM, and also in terms of flatness which was pefect till the very edges of the corners. I believe I will be using flats, but the advantage here is that the chip *is indeed fully lit* thus not losing precious photons to vignetting on but a very, very small portion of the image.

This image further includes the flatness graph result, roundness and FWHM, an image of the SBIG STL 11000 camera, and the Officina Stellara custom built adapter, which is built like a tank http://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/product_info.php/language/en/info/p5745_Officina-Stellare-SBIG-STL-11000-Adapter-fuer-Veloce-RH-200-Astrograph.html)
