Thanks Alexandra/Phil.

It has gone back

Many thanks for everyone’s feedback.

It’s definitely an issue with the Quark. The different scope and camera combinations produced the same effect, so back to the supplier.....

Cheers.

For better or worse I've bought a Quark. The intention is to use it with my 250mm RCT for high res views. Late afternoon yesterday the Sun finally appeared and I was able to give it a test run for the first time. Despite using two different cameras and two different refractors I found some persisten...

July 11th and a wonderful evening for some solar reflections. I almost didn't bother going out for a look, but when my wife came in the house after feeding our visiting hedgehogs in the garden she told me that the moon was beautiful and clear and that I should take a look.

Excellent post, Mark. Informative and with beautiful images.

I was in Redditch on Friday and experienced the same conditions that you did. Unfortunately I didn’t have any solar kit with me. Picnicked with family in the Park instead.

Looking good, Pepe. Congrats on SPOD.

Cycle 25.....yippee.... The seeing conditions were awful as these were taken in the late afternoon from my back garden here in the north-west of England. Nevertheless I was excited to see a small sunspot which has been confirmed to be an early one of cycle 25 and wanted to capture it in Cak and hydr...

Nice images, Pepe.

Another fine set of images, Mark.
