Good morning, everyone, last sun of the week (and yes, I have to go home tomorrow!) still from the Sirene Observatory on the Albion plateau where the Mistral is still blowing! At the fs60 with its sm40 double stack, glasspath x1.25, BF10 and zwo178mm around 13h10 UT http://www.astrosurf.com/ls35dx/n...

thanks for the comments:) I no longer have a problem with newton rings because of the glasspath (I put a tilt ring) but I still have a problem with the 178mm halpha pattern! (this is a defect of this camera : https://solarchatforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=20972 ). So I still need the flat. cordially...

precisely in the original size: there are many streaks near the active area.

Thank you for your appreciation anyway

cordially,

Good morning, everyone, still big blue sky at the Sirene Observatory (as in much of France today, it seems to me), some pictures I just took of the place with my equipment in full action! :) http://www.astrosurf.com/ls35dx/new44/S20190103-sirene01.jpg http://www.astrosurf.com/ls35dx/new44/S20190103-...

Hello, not easy weather conditions today because the north wind picked up last night: a lot of turbulence and, incidentally, it was hard! :) still at fs60, sm40 double stack, glasspath x1.25, BF10 and zwo178mm around 13h UT http://www.astrosurf.com/ls35dx/new44/S20190102-13h03UT-sm40DS-fs60-gpx1.25-...

Good morning, everyone, a little sun of the day from the Sirene Observatory on the Albion plateau in France where I would be all week: there is plenty of sun, at day and stars, at night! ;) :) still at the fs60 with its sm40 double stack, glasspath x1.25, BF10 and zwo178mm around 13h20 UT http://www...

Good morning, everyone, a little sun on the Vosges mountains yesterday after the storms of saturday, the opportunity to shoot him the portrait quickly made at the focus of the fs60 on staradventurer, with sm40 double stack, glasspath x1.25, BF10 and zwo178mm around 10h30 UT http://www.astrosurf.com/...

Good morning, everyone, a sun does a little late (and just above the roof of the house) but we can still see that it is still little active despite the presence of a beautiful filament ! :) At the focus of the fs60 with sm40 double stack, glasspath x1.25, BF10 and zwo178mm around 16h45 HL (14h45 UT)...

Good morning, everyone, an image of our sun made before the sky starts thundering over the Vosges mountains: fs60 on staradventurer, sm40 double stack, glasspath x1.25, BF10 and zwo178mm around 12h UT http://www.astrosurf.com/ls35dx/new43/S20180822-11h59UT-sm40DS-fs60-gpx1.25-bf10-asi178mm.jpg http:...

thank you

a glasspath x1.25 to have a whole sun as big as possible on the 178mm sensor!

Good morning, everyone, I left the Albion plateau for the Vosges massif, and I traded the GPDX for a fixed GPDX for the nomadic staradventurer... it's a little more sporty, there's a little less good weather but that doesn't stop me from making a little sun once in a while! :) So this day around 10:...

thanks to you:)

I started well from the observatory but I did not return home: I am now in the in-laws in the Vosges mountains.

yes, sunny holidays... but storms in the evening right now, it is more difficult to do astronomy at night....

Good morning, everyone, a quick sun through the clouds just before the thunderstorms came! to the fs60 with its sm40DS, glasspath x1.25, BF10 and zwo178mm around 13h40 UT http://www.astrosurf.com/ls35dx/new43/S20180803-13h42UT-sm40DS-fs60-gpx1.25-bf10-asi178mm.jpg with a flat that didn't work: http:...

Good morning, everyone, a very calm sun today; it's a pity because the public who came to the Sirene observatory for the day visit didn't see much on it... :( But I still made two memory images with fs60, sm40 double stack, glasspath x1.25, BF10 and zwo178mm around 12h UT http://www.astrosurf.com/ls...

thanks

actually I'm on vacation and I'm spending a few days at the observatory. On the program: DSO, planets and sun... I don't sleep much!
