Nothing really wrong, in fact very good for a first attempt!Eddie wrote:Okay my very first shots taken with Canon Powershot S30 3.1 mp portable camera set on Manual hand held over my photo tube. I put a Zeiss 8X KPL eyepiece in the top of the photo tube. I know the quality is not good but, it's a start.
How do I improve? What's my next step?
You can improve the exposure compensation: BF needs more overexposure while the pol one a bit less underexposure and the lambda plate one some underesposure.
For BF you also need to set up the adequate color temperature (too yellow) or at least place a blue filter and you have some light uneveness likely related with the condenser position.
In fact most of it can be corrected in post processing
