Re: SUNocular view from on Lake Russell S.C. 4-15-24

Brilliant James! Glad you got a view in that lovely weather!

Have you got a float for your car keys? If you capsize and they go in the water you will be glad you have one else you'll be diving to the lake bed to retrieve them.

Sunday Sunshine 14th April

The weather forecast has been relatively correct for us here lately, cloudy, so, when Sunday morning forecast was for clear skies followed by it clouding over I was determined to make the most of a short window of blue skies. I wanted to do more work with my CaK filter, I think i've found the correc...

Re: Can you stack two tele-centric barlows?

HI Dennis,

Why are you using the sharpened feature in AS3? You are paying so much attention to detail in terms of the telecentrics and the f number the etalon see's etc but the sharpened function in As3 allows absolutely no control over outcome.

CaK Full Disk 13th April

Spring is definitely upon us here in the UK as it was pleasantly warm as I sat patiently outside on Saturday afternoon waiting for the fleeting and infrequent cloud breaks. There weren't many at all, and when the clouds did part it just revealed a milky view with higher cirrus. Not the weather at al...

Thanks Rick! These are beautiful images, nice to compare your CaH and my CaK from the same day. You should try stopping the scope down to say 70mm when you are imaging in CaH.
