前天在S&T杂志上看到这款CCD,它的蓝和派拉蒙的红一样迷人,感觉很高雅!09年2月上它和AP 160搭配Astrodon Gen II滤镜拍的Pleiades很漂亮,作者是Scott Hammonds!想请社长也看下

我現在辦公室就有一部Apogee準備發到阿里用的,而我最後的遠程天文台應會用SBIG STX16803的,裝在105/650上先掃一輪深空,然後才改用長焦吧。

按表现说应该不错,期待华山论剑的凯旋!5100米海拔让人高处不胜寒!今天武汉冷死人,明天打算出去给家里弄点取暖的炭回。

論天氣,香港算是很不錯的,夏天正常在34度上下,極端有三兩天的其中白天時段有數小時達38度上下,冬天最冷也是數度,沒地震沒海嘯,颱風來時多數沒多少人傷亡。

天文相機這東西很特別,看SBIG的,可以用數年後易手也不會虧多少。ST10這些古老型號,10年了也維持零售價不變。

今天我也看了下相关情况。

过去看过国外很多技术能人用 U16、U16M 拍出不错的深空作品。单纯从硬性数字看,可能ApoGee走得比较前卫。

看了下 U16M 的官方价格也过$1W了。

一个朋友也在问我这方面问题,Apogee CCD拍天体相比有哪些问题?过去在论坛上看到更多的是Sbig STL-11000, ST-8300,以及STX-16803的信息。

从硬件数字上看,好像Apogee走得更“前卫”一些?

今天 astomates.com 上就有个同好开始在做 U16M 的预算了,如果是天文单位的话,肯定会考虑 STX-16803!

我現在要修正一下,我的西藏天文台建好後,會先用ST8300M一會,之後是FLI PL16803或SBIG STX16803,暫時未決定。
