Re: Falcon de-rotation - what factors influence accuracy

Do you have any more examples of images with different telescope and camera combinations than the two that you post on the Falcon web page? Position in the sky aside, I assume that a shorter focal length resulting a wider field of view and a larger sensor size will result in more angular rotation an...

Falcon de-rotation - what factors influence accuracy

Just a quick question - what are the factors that influence the rotation step 'accuracy' in order to properly rotate the field with out errors at edge of field for longer exposure astrophotography? Is it scope focal length, sensor size i.e. distance to edge of sensor? Something else? And is there a ...
