Ultra High-Resolution Deep Sky Imaging | 2024-06-30
Ғылым және технология
Debra and Peter Ceravolo describe doing ultra high-resolution deep sky imaging using a restored 16 inch Boller & Chivens, f/18, 7400mm focal length telescope that was designed and built at the dawn of the space age.
Debra and Peter Ceravolo live in southern interior BC, Canada and own and operate an optical business. Peter designs and builds telescopes and also restores old historical telescopes while Debra does astro imaging and processing.

Great presentation and loved to see the process used to save this wonderful opto-mechanical gem. Great to see the images as well. Labors of love for sure.
Great presentation! Incredible piece of equipment that telescope, great it was rescued from oblivion!
Holy wowzers! just look at the resolution on that system. Well done to these 2 Legends! I was just reading about proto planetary disks in Orion's trapezium, I didnt think this kind of resolution was possible with ground based telescopes. AND THAT WITH A TELESCOPE FROM THE 60's wowww!
I recognize the ceravolo 900.. Us Canadians appreciate those older American made observatory class telescopes. Like a 55 Chevy. Good save !
When you observe in the summer you dress like it is autumn. When you observe in the autumn you dress like it is winter. When you observe in the winter you put on an extension tube to your CCD and observe remotely from a warm room.
Altitude is not high at all. Pictures have Okish resolution, not high one. To compare, they can rent or buy outright ASA 1m RC in Atacama Desert and see meaning of “high resolution “.

Yeah... It is a 0.4m at 3000ft. But the images are still great, especially considering that they are taken with a vintage scope.

@@Poketronics 3000ft is really not high altitude. Pictures are OKish, but not high resolution. Vintage scope could be plus. I have no info how much contemporary scopes are better.
