While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

Dear all,

Just a thought...

It seems to be accepted that the f6.3 focal reducer inevitably causes
vignetting, or "porthole effect" on 35mm, to a greater or lesser extent
depending in part on exposure and composition. Has anyone tried correcting
for this digitally? If you took a "flat field" exposure on emulsion, then
digitised both the image and the "flat" in a 35mm scanner, you could
perhaps subtract one form the other and correct for the drop off in
brightness. Alternatively it may be possible to measure the drop off and
create a graduated circular "image" to do the same job.

Any comments?

Regards
Nigel
