ADC (Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector) Tutorial

A long-overdo tutorial on how I use the ZWO Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector. ZWO Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector is used to reduce the effect of atmospheric dispersion on lunar and planetary images. Light from any star or planet that enters our atmosphere at an angle will suffer refraction effects which bend to light to a slightly steeper angle. This refraction effect makes the object appear higher in the sky than if the atmosphere wasn’t there. The degree of refraction depends to a small degree on various things like temperature, humidity, observers and height above sea level, but does increases strongly with decreasing altitude of the object.
Join me as I show the ADC in the imaging train and use it in real time. Then I process some Saturn and Jupiter data and show the before and after effects in Registax.
Again, I wanted to apologize for the long absence, but after coming back to work my channel just had to take a backseat for a little bit. I am truly grateful to everyone who stuck around and all the new followers as well. I have some great stuff planned and I hope y'all enjoy!
Clear Skies!
