Operational Notes
T32 features a HUGE CCD chip with an amazing wide FoV. Matched up with the wonderful Planewave mount this telescope will deliver incredable data. Note: VERY large FITs files - 32Mb Binx1. FITS and TIF file formats. Dark Frame calibration data is available for 60, 120, 180, 300 & 600 second exposures. Binx1 - Binx2. Raw data can be found at data.itelescope.net.
- ABG. Recommended Maximum Exposure 300 secs.
- The Planewave Ascension 200HR mount is so accurate whilst tracking that iTelescope Admin have disabled active guidance, with a corresponding decrease in session setup time when imaging.
