PERFECT IMAGING PERFORMANCE

Testimonials

Testimonial: Seitdem ich mich mit der Astrophotographie beschäftige, habe ich jede Menge an guten und schlechten Erfahrungen mit Montierungen verschiedener Hersteller gesammelt. Als ich dann das erste Mal eine ASA DDM Montierung in Betrieb nahm, hatte ich den Eindruck, eine neue Welt zu betreten – vergleichbar mit dem Erlebnis meiner ersten Aufnahme mit der CCD-Kamera. Gerald Rhemann

Testimonial: Es ist aufregend in einer Ära zu leben, in der so viele bahnbrechende Ergebnisse das Verständinis der Astronomie bereichern. In diesem Zusammenhang liefert die Firma ASA top aktuelle Hi-Tech-Systeme für die (semi)professionelle Astrofotografie. Als klassischer Hobbyastronom kann ich mit Begeisterung die gesamte Produktpalette empfehlen. Die Kombination von schneller Optik, hochpräziser Direktnachführung und optimaler Fernsteuerbarkeit ist wohl weltweit einzigartig. Prim. Dr. Thomas Maca

Testimonial: Nun habe ich diese Montierung seit Mitte Oktober. Wetter und auch Arbeit haben leider ausführliche Tests mit der DDM 85 unter dem Sternenhimmel verhindert. Doch ich nutzte jede Menge an Zeit um mich zu Hause mit der Montierung vertraut zu machen. Letztes Wochenende war das Wetter endlich gut und ich konnte diese Zeit mit einem „First Light“ nutzen. Nachdem ich mein erstes Objekt (NGC 281) angefahren hatte, machte ich ein Pointing File mit sieben Sternen in der Umgebung dieses Objekts. Dieses Pointing File sollte die reproduzierbaren Fehler der Ausrüstung (Poljustierung, Durchbiegung etc.) berücksichtigen und ausgleichen. Danach machte ich eine zehnminütige Aufnahme mit Ha-Filter ohne Guiding: Crop, 100%: http://www.pbase.com/gbachmayer/image/131952982/original.jpg. Auf den Punkt gebracht. Ich bin einfach beeindruckt von der Genauigkeit der Nachführung. Gerhard Bachmayer

Testimonial: Es freut mich einer der ersten Besitzer einer ASA DDM85 Montierung zu sein. Die innovative Technologie in Verbindung mit dem bekannten ASA N12 Astrographen haben mir den Einstieg in die Deep-Sky-Photographie erleichtert. ASA hat sich die Anerkennung verdient, diese professionelle Technologien für Amateure erschwinglich zu machen. Emil Ivanov
