The EL panel for the Takahashi is ready!

After weeks of experimenting with the prototype EL panel the final design became more and more clear. Herman ten Haaf from ASH turned the prototype in this final version.

There the frame is being made.

The inside contains filters in order to receive a fully illuminated field. The filters also help to decrease the brightness of the EL panel so flatfield exposures exceed 5sec. This gives better reproducable results for the flatfield calibration frames.

This is the finalized result. Next thing to do is test it on the Takahashi with my Artemis CCD and DSLR camera's.
