STARTEST IMAGES GALLERY . Type: Maksutov Cassegrain . ... Inside Focus . ... Outside Focus . ... These is are the startest images of two alike 6"F/10 Maksutov Cassegrain’s. The central obstruction on these images is slightly larger than in the reality. ... Another rather easy done simulation for the second image from the left in the second table with images. ... Also the middle-ring is brighter in the simulation according to the PSF’s , this is however not so clear when you look at the images. ...
STARTEST IMAGES GALLERY . STARTESTING TELESCOPES WITH AN AUTOCOLLIMATOR . ... This website is a joint effort of Markus Ludes from APM-Telescopes and Cor Berrevoets ( Aberrator free startesting Software ). The site aims at explaining the different aspects of star-testing telescopes. ... Markus Ludes (APM telescopes) used a high quality 10" Maksutov Newtonian (Zygo tested at 632,8 nm with the following errors: 1/10.1 wavefront p.t.v. and 1/51 wavefront RMS) as collimator in single pass scheme. ...
... Free image alignment/stacking/processing Software . My lunar drawings . ... REAL TELESCOPES . ... Download Pocket-Aberrator . ... The Aberrator is freeware that generates star-testing images to show the effects of aberrations (distortions) influencing the quality of a telescopes performance. ... The idea to make a program like the Aberrator I got after studying many internet-sites on star-testing and often the effects of certain aberrations were only available as literal descriptions. ...
Crater Gassendi . ... I made this drawing was made on the 26th of november 2001. If you compare this one with the previous drawing of Gassendi (below) the differences are clear. ... This drawing was made on the 28th of september 2001. After nearly a full month without observations I had a one hour gap between the thicker clouds. ... This drawing was made on the 29th of august 2001. ... This drawing was made on the 27th of august 2001. ... This drawing was made on the 25th of august 2001. ...
... These Facts and Questions pages mainly tell you how to use the Aberrator-interface and also explain the nature of the aberrations. ... Airy disc: the brightest spot of light when you look at a star in focus. This disc can contain a maximum of 84% of all the light that arrives from a star (perfect refractor telescope). MCT : Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope. A closed-tube mirror-telescope with a secondary obstruction. Less common than the SCT, this telescope uses a corrector (real glass). ...
