CCD Imaging with
the SBIG ST-10E
As mentioned on the
CCD Imaging page I have just acquired the SBIG ST-10E, and in
addition a True Technology Custom Filter Wheel to try my hand
at Tri Colour Imaging. I intend to use this on both the Takahashi
refractors, and the Celestron C11.

The ST-10E as it comes
with two stage cooling and a water pump - the latter probably
not required in the UK :-). In addition two views as attached
to the True Technology Filter Wheel.
As yet the instrument
has not been tried, only just received, and combinations of weather
and work have ruined any opportunities to get stuck in yet. The
way things are going I guess the Thetford Equinox Star Party will
be my best chance to get some real time to play, as I have time
off work then as well.
It is my intention
to operate the system from the laptop to get everything up and
running, and then operate the system remotely from inside using
a Lan which I am installing in the house. That's nearly done,
so hopefully I will be operational soon..
