Using an Atik383L with a Newtonian
« on: April 02, 2013, 10:31:49 am »
I have used the above camera successfully with refractors, but have recently bought a Newtonian.  I am getting a sort of diagonal white haze on the captures filling half the image i.e. wavey and diagonally bottom right.  Is this some sort of frosting?  I changed the dessicant only 1 imaging session ago, so wondering whether being more exposed to the elements with a Newtonian, it is causing a problem.

What do you think, and how can I overcome it?  No space really for a dew heater as FW and Coma Corrector are between camera and drawtube.

Hi,

this is difficult to isolate without viewing a sample picture...
The camera is not more exposed on a Newt than on any other Scope?
Post a pic if you want a better analyse pls...
