Yesterday night I managed to make some first images with the LYNX prototype. Even without the ablility to collimate the optics (there is no proper mirrorcell yet for example) the images look very promising! The upper image is M13, 13 seconds on ISO 800, the second is Wega, just 10 seconds on ISO 400 The vignetting is caused by the too narrow helical focuser used for these images. I'll change that as soon as possible.
I'll make the images available in high resolution. Here's the link: http://www.pbase.com/ter_horst/lynx_images
There's a lot to do still, but slowly the theoretical model becomes alive!
