Fisheye view of the Southern Milky Way Partial Lunar Eclipse, took place on Aug 08, 2017, just after the total solar eclipse in USA. 2018-08-08 (KST, GMT+9:00), Gwanak-gu, Seoul, Korea Camera: Sony A7M2 (Unmodified) Telescope: Takahashi FS-60CB w/ Flattener (d=60mm, f/6.2) Mount: CRUX-170HD Exposure: ISO 100, 0.3s (single shot) Processing: Adobe Photoshop CC 2017
Harmonic Drive I’ve received a brand-new ‘Harmonic Drive’ equatorial mount CRUX-170HD about a month ago. CRUX-170HD uses a special driving mechanism different from other equatorial mounts. Baisically, almost all commercially-available equatorial mounts are worm-driven. They uses worm and worm gear system for final reduction. But there are few drawbacks here. Worm & worm gear system […]
