Just flocked my refractor 70mm scope! Excited :D
and went ham flocking every part of my refractor scope I could. even the focuser has flocking paper in it now.
I had to adjust the positions of the baffles a bit. so theres not even a tiny bit of the objective and light path obscured from any angle (even far to the edge of the focuser racked in or out)
now its a deep void around the exit pupil of my eyepieces when i look at it from some inches away.
and when looking through its also very high contrast image. clear and bright
Tested with my camera too and this is my results
Does this seem normal contrast for a 70mm F6 refractor telescope? note that it was priced at only 30$ on amazon when I bought it. it's still 30$ today.
by contrast I mean how dark the shadows. and the contrast of the mid-tones are. how washed out or not they look. brightest whites to the deepest blacks and shadows. whatnot.
This is basically straight out of the camera. no enhancements contrast or saturation. only white balance adjusted.

Oh...when you said flocked, you actually meant flocked.
It wasn't a profanity bypass.
The contrast looks pretty good for a small cheap refractor.

Re: Just flocked my refractor 70mm scope! Excited :D
easily out performs my 100mm reflector telescope. easily higher contrast and less glare/flares
The reflector telescope has so much glare and flare issues its not even funny. its vomit disgusting bad. cause of all the streetlights
Theres a lot of hazy washed out look too from all the light bouncing around in the tube.
my 70mm refractor telescope fully flocked and baffled has great contrast. and no major glare or flares
background sky hugely more contrasty against the stars.
Orion nebula is more visible and contrasty in my 70mm refractor telescope because of that.

got this result with 24 seconds exposure time total (stack of 0.5 second frames at a blazing iso 25600)
looks like good star colors for once. not too bad. Almost no vignetting too.
Capella is the bright star in the middle
