Derek

Derek

Nice shot Rainer

Just a few associated snaps from the day.

Brian directly overhead down here. Iam at the moment cleaning my Lunt 100 and 16" Dob just for visual to start with.
Derek

Welcome back Matty. I was going to suggest the Lunt 100.I am just dusting mine off after a long layoff.It really is alovely scope for visual especially for proms.I have also found Lunt very good in there back up too.
Derek

What a way to start the day.

Lovely Brian .I know the feeling to many toys not enough time.I look foward to some Jupiter and Saturn pics at opposition.I have just purchased another dehumidifying cabinet to move some of my Solar gear and eyepieces into.Unfortunately stock is hard to get due to Covid.
Derek

Got a Moonset at dawn this morning and a few other shots.Also a picture of the Hilux and the Stars for Mark.They may look nice Mark but I would take my old Landcruisers anyday for serious offroad under load.
Derek

Always good to be around the birds.My Milky Way reflection will be the last for a while as the Moon is now setting near dawn.
Derek

Got a 35mm Canon RF lens so tried it out this morning on the Sunrise.Also a single Milky Way pick 15s @ f1.8; ISO 6400. Note other picks in collage with a 14mm lens.
Derek

Just a quick collage from this morning.Alexandra a Heron nearly landed on me this morning and when I put the head torch on it it let out a mournful shreak scared me as much as I scared it.
Derek

Thanks.Rainer that hue is due to the canon Ra being in Cloudy White balance .Due to its greater Ha sensitivity it does weird things in early morning and late afternoon light.I could correct it but I like the effect.
Derek

Cheers Lou some nice proms there and love the moon shot.
Derek

Thanks Rainer

Always a pleasure to view your images ErIc.Some nice limb activity despite not a great deal going on on the disc,
Derek

Excellent

Jochen what a beauty. The grass in the foreground really makes for an excellent composition.
Derek

Thanks Rainer I found that really interesting.
Derek

A nice morning with an Iridium Flare and Venus reflecting.
Derek

Thanks Pedro still quite there.

How good is that limb detail.I am sitting in my lounge room with the heater on here at 3 in the afternoon.No Sun here today.
Derek

Boring I highly doubt it.That is a very informative post and goes to show that with Solar it’s an ongoing experiment.Interesting that f seems to me to lie somewhere between a and c .It will be good to see what the DS unit achieves with each of these setting. A lot of configurations but worth it.
Derek

An early Saturday Morning around my home town,For you Northerners Andromeda is just visible to the left in the frame with the Zodiac Light.
Derek

No Alexandra that’s Venus Rising.It certainly stood out this morning.
