Re: Atik 460EX fringe patters

Keith,

I can confirm my Atik 460 does not suffer from fringes and works well, but the 414 does due to the cover glass.

I use a Lhires and 2400 grating.

Regards,

Jack

James,

My Lhires was purchased before this adaptation was made.

I will contact them to see if I can make the mod.

I have taken the doors off ! ! and keep the Lhires permanently in a film changing bag to ensure its light tight, it works ok.

Regards,

Jack

Re: VV Cep this night

Jean-Jacques,

Well done on keeping up the monitoring.

I see no change in the spectrum yet

We have to keep observing.

A network should be setup for monitoring 24/7, but how ?
