Oh the shots I would liked to do !!!

Alexandra,
We got the best weather here in south Quebec, even better than Texas and Mazatlan.
Lot of visitors from USA and France, real eclipse chasers.
Lot of memorys for my old days !!!

DanielBrousseau

The advantage of the double stack !!!!

DanielBrousseau

Quite original, thanks.

DanielBrousseau

Thanks guys,
I like this community, it's important for me.

DanielBrousseau

Extraordinaire, I love them.

We got a wonderful total eclipse here, without any cloud. We organised a meeting for 300 amateur astronomers from Quebec with 60 telescopes at all.

I live in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada and the weather is really promising here. The statistics are against us compare to Texas and Mazatlan. Lot of visitors actually. My club is ready, we have 300 astronomers and relatives who reserved our place. As we say here: put a rosary on a clothesline !!! Écli...

Excellent, got the recipe...

I really prefer Dennis's traitement.

Actually my shot is in Sky & Telescope of March an May 2024.

DanielBrousseau

I used Topaz AI on my best shot (version 2 first here) and tried Topaz. It's clean and a bit artistic for me, is it too much for the purists ?

Extra Brian...the sun is quite low in Canada.

DanielBrousseau

Hi thesmiths, I used my Televue 85 with a 0,8x reducer (f/5,6) and a Canon 60D, on a motorised equatorial mount. I used Magic Lantern intervalometer to take 12 bracketed pictures at each session. I just press the remote button to start the session every 10 minutes, so I could talk and enjoy the ecli...

DanielBrousseau

Good idea Brian but here in Sherbrooke, Quebec, we got 3 min 25 sec. of totality. I can't miss it so we will decide to leave by car 48 hours before....

Super David, you got the right recipe.

Perfect shot for me...

DanielBrousseau

The power of monochrome Brian, you got it....

DanielBrousseau

Bad stats here in Sherbrooke Brian, so we plan to do a few hundred km toward west (by car).

The 8th of April week in 2023 was sunny and Texas was bad.

DanielBrousseau

Impressive Pedro,
Merci beaucoup,

DanielBrousseau

James,
Sorry a bit late to respond....I use a standard SKyWatcher 254mm f/5, I added a Televue 3x barlow. There is also a ZWO focuser.
Thanks.

DanielBrousseau

Quite versatile, you expand the borders here...

DanielBrousseau

Wonderful !!!

DanielBrousseau

I got a great surprise with this .avi file this morning (90fps for 42 sec.).
I kept 100 of them and I don't know why, it was my best ever. All the others where quite 'normals'.

SW 254mm, Astrosolar 3.8, Astronomiks OIII 12nm, ASI290.

Brian,
I really see the difference with or without de double stack Lunt. I got a 60mm actually.
Originals presentations for shure,
Thanks for sharing,

DanielBrousseau

Merveilleux, probably more difficult to manage but the result is there.

DanielBrousseau

Thanks for th SPOD !

AR 3504 this morning in Est Canada, I was lucky for a brief moment.

I kept 50 of 6000 clichés, with a SkyWatcher 254mm f/5, a Televue barlow 3x, an Astrosoler 3.8, an Astronomiks OIII and an ASI 290.

G-Band: a work in progress, I like these.

DanielBrousseau

I tried with my ASI294 mono binned 2x2 with RVB filter form Astronomiks.
I calibrated each color the best I could naturally, as any planet.

There is some color on the penumbra but it's not any science for my.

DanielBrousseau

This G-Band 2nm is an interesting project for shure.
I like these first photos.
Thanks,

DanielBrousseau

I bit late for my response, sorry...
So I use the SW 254mm f/5 with an Astrosolar 3.8 and an Astronomiks OIII 12nm, a barlow Televue 3X and a ASI290.
Usually I kept 50 clichés from 3000 8ms .ser video.
Here is may last one, AR 3373 on the 19th of August from Quebec, Canada.

DanielBrousseau

I've enjoyed all your plates, so technically perfect.

DanielBrousseau

Stunning cliché with low cost setup !
I got the same setup and waiting for this king of seiing.

A test in the morning with Astrosolar 3.8 filter, an Astronomiks OIII filter and a ASI290.

Haved to collimate the SkyWatcher f/5 254mm the night before. Much more complicated then my refractor !
