Wonderful images, Phil. The last but one is spectacular with that lovely depth of field effect really drawing the eye into the active region. Very nicely done.

Stu.

Very nice indeed, Alessandro.

The second CaK image in particular is a real beauty.

Stu.

Another fine set of images, Pedro.

Stu.

Lovely image, Christian. Nice to see you up and running again.

Stu.

Excellent. Really nicely done, although isn’t the animation running backwards? The AR seems to be sucking in those streamers.

Stu.

Nice images, Raf. Cool mod.

Stu

Good luck with your mother’s recovery.

Nice images. I’m looking forward to seeing more with that kit.

Stu.

I’d be happy to help out testing the Lunt module, Alexandra. We can coordinate when the skies look promising over a weekend.

Stu.

Hi Alexandra,

Probably the jet stream throwing things out. With that aperture it’s so reliant on superb seeing.
Sorry to hear about your various hardware and computer issues. You’ve been having a rough time with these things lately

Stu.

Excellent results, Mark. You had a productive session with time for experimentation too.

Stu.

Many thanks everyone.

I’m finally happy with my CaK setup using the Lunt B600, Baader K-line and Omega stack.
The biggest issue I have right now is getting good contrast though my Lunt60 for Ha FDs.

Cheers

A frustrating morning with only relatively short gaps between the gathering cumulus clouds, but the air was clear and the seeing conditions were pretty good. I spent more time waiting than capturing images, but managed a few with my various scopes and cameras. AR2736 is getting really close to the l...

There’s some beautiful complexity in that AR, Marty. Nicely imaged.

Stu.

Nicely done, Alex. Frustrated with cloud here.

Stu

Nice setup, Martin. Remote controlled to keep you in the cool

It looks to be a beautiful location too.

Stu.

Let’s hope they’re right. Thanks for the info, Bob.

Stu

Nice images, Phil. Trial an error will get you there....

Stu.

Good images, John. I fear the fun will be over by the time we get some Sun here. Nice to see others have had better luck.

Stu.

Nice images, Paul, despite the problems with seeing and dust bunnies. That’s a heck of a complex spot system.

Stu.

Nice capture, Alfred.

Just cloud and rain, so no chance of seeing anything on the Sun from here.

Stu.

Nice one, Valery. There’s some lovely detail there.

Stu.

Very nice, Eric. That’s a bright active region

Stu.

Many thanks Dave, Brian, Eric, Alexandra & Franco.

I appreciate your supportive comments.

Stu.

Many thanks for your kind words, everyone.

Much appreciated.

Stu.

After a day of mostly clouds, surprisingly the evening turned out pretty clear, providing a nice opportunity to grab some time imaging the moon.
