Astrophotography with the Nexstar SLT 102
Globular clusters only:
Images processed with GIMP and/or Registax or DSS.
All taken with an 102mm F6.5 Celestron Nexstar refractor and Olympus 2020Z digital camera, using afocal projection.
By default, images are scaled by 75% and then cropped to 600x400. This gives scale of ~8''/pixel and roughly a 1.3o x 0.9o field for unzoomed images. Some larger objects are scaled by 50% (as noted), giving 12''/pixel and 2o x 1.3o. A few have not been treated this way yet, and are marked as 'old version's.
