Grabbed a few SERs just before lunch. Light cloud and wobbly seeing, but glad to have a look-see. Tal100/PST mod PGRg3 50 frames from 900 frame concatenated SER. Had to crank up the gamma to increase the contrast. Best wishes, David ( Right click and view image for full size ) 2019-03-20_T_11-28-28-...

Well , back after a lengthy lay-off but glad to be imaging again. I barely remembered what to do but managed one image from a late morning session. Quite a bit of high cloud drifting . I had to use a much more contrasty gamma than usual - I hope it was the conditions. I may have been too agressive w...

Valery, Thanks for posting raw image. I love processing other folks images trying to reproduce their results using my usual methods. In this case it was more interesting as I haven't processed any CaK images before. I had quite a lot of trouble deciding what was noise and what was artefact from my h...

You could use SER player to save the good bits to separate SER files using the "set marker" facility then concatenate the good bits to a single SER file using PIPP ? If there was a flag in SER player that cut the marked frames it would shorten the process ( perhaps there is a way to "invert" the mar...

Lovely presentation Pedro. Interesting comparison of scopes and combinations.
What is your preferred rig for full disk Ha imaging ?
Best wishes,

Beautiful set Stu.

Dear All, Wasted all morning due to my own stupidity. I could not get a focus on my Tal/PST mode rig. Started to panic thinking my etalon had de-contacted. Anyway a chance test with another scope made me twig that I had forgotten I had hid a telecentric inside a nosepiece hidden behind a 35nm filter...

Dear All, Got some sun today so had a couple of quick sessions. Started with the Tal/PST mod and concentrated on the active region. 100 frames stacked from 1200 frame SER captured with the PGR G3. Later had a gap so got the SM40/ 62mm Petzval combo out ( alt-az and drifted to get rid of NRs ). 100 f...

Dear All, not been imaging much so grabbed a quick session this morning before the haze clouded over. 75 frames from 1200 frame SER. SM40 front mounted on a 62mm Petzval frac, PGR G3, alt-az undriven to rid me of NRs. Best wishes, David Right click and "view image" for full size. SM40FD62mmPetzvalPG...

Got a very quick session this morning cloud dodging.
One image only.
Tal/PST mod +PGR G3.
100 images stacked from 1500 frame concatenated SER.

Brian,
Cracking FD and great detail in the AR images. Glad you are getting some decent sessions in your
work break.
Best wishes,
David

Lovely set Pedro.

Wonderful detail Stu. Are you near the sea? Seeing is rubbish lately here on the Pennine margins.
Could of course be due to the new obsy not being as porous to the wind as the old one .
Best wishes,
David

Nice! Something for everyone Derek,

Got some larger gaps in the rolling clouds this morning. Seeing still poor. Not a great session, so only an AR to show for the effort. Hope seeing is better where you are. Tal/PST mod PGR G3 , 100 frames stacked from 1500 frame concatenated SER. Best wishes, David Right click and view image for full...

Some very nice detail Brian. Great collection.

They are excellent Mark.

Grabbed a quick session this morning, but seeing was awful. Tal/PST mod + PGR G3. Could only get 50 frames to stack in each case. I hope it is better where you are.

Great set Marty.

Franco, It is always a successful session if you manage to get anything worth showing. It is all good practice. I have been following the threads on DS adjustments. I have enough problems adjusting the single SM40 on a slightly longer scope. I think my arms must be shorter than the average T-Rex :-)...

Sorry I am a bit late to the party and have just got round to catching up.
Beautiful set. Love the detail you get and the limb sharpness on your FDs.
I don't think I have ever seen any noctilucent clouds let alone imaged them.
Best wishes,
David

That is a very nice disk Mark.
I might have missed it but have you sorted out the problems you were having with the 50mm ?
Best wishes,
David

Brian,
I always like your full disks. Can I ask what was wrong with your etalon? How did it become misaligned and how did you correct it ?
Best wishes,
David

Eric,
They are lovely, I would not have thought you would get so much detail from that amount of cloud.
Shows how much I know :-)
Best wishes,
David

These are beautiful. Reminds me very much of sunflowers.
Best wishes,
David
