Hi to everyone,
there is a lot to read about it and I still have a lot of research to do on my own here, but I would still like to ask this question to our lovely community.
I am currently using an upgraded SW 150 pds with a newly installed Touptek ATR2600m with filter wheel on a Proxisky UMi 20s. I am really happy with this setup now but due to my limited fov at home I can only image the western part of the sky. My maximum imaging time for an object per night is approx. three hours when it becomes visible to me until it sets behind the building opposite of me.
Now I am beginning to ask myself the question, if I could mount an Askar SQA55 with my trusted 533mc onto my SW 150 pds and use both setups in tandem, weightwise this should be no problem for the mount. The fov of both setups, SQA55+533mc and 150pds+ATR2600m, is actually somewhat similar, however the resolution is different due to the different focal lengths of the scopes - 2,94”/pixel vs 1,03”/pixel.
Would it make sense to use the SQA55+533mc for the RGB part of the image and to use the 150pds+ATR2600m for luminance (and/or Ha where possible) data? Would the lum image at a resolution of 1,03”/pixel bring the desired and current level of detail or would I be losing details in the image due to the RGB image having a resolution of 2,94”/pixel? The hope is that this would work and I could “double” my imaging time from my imaging location without having to make any larger changes.
Clear Skies to you all, I hope your local weather is better than mine here,
Alex
