Nice!

Good! Something coming round the limb soon!

Nice disks Pedro! Did you have another frosty start to the day?

Good report James, glad you got to get the SM90 out, another month and I will dust mine off for the 2021 season.

Top shots! Congrats on the new purchase.

Lovely shots Eric and nice to see the scope setup too!

Very good given the seeing!

Thanks Pedro! I never imagine you getting a frost, but there you go!

Thanks for the report James. Cloud, grey and wet all day here today - it did clear at sunset and we had that golden band in the west as I left work. Hoping (as always!) for the weekend...

Weather saying sun for me on Sunday. But I don't believe it (the weather that is!) - I hope it is sunny...

I enjoy all the messing around with scopes that you do Andrew, thanks for the report.

Way cool Eric!

Thanks James for your report. Marks' newbie scope looks interesting and eventually to see some results should be even more interesting... I have the Meade 127mm APO-Triplet, but is so long and very heavy, that not suitable within the observatory for Solar use, but my Meade ETX-125mm Maksutov-Casseg...

Very nice Mark! It's an inch more aperture than the 102mm Celestron I use for white light. I too plan to upgrade to a larger refractor in the future by going to an Astro-Tech AT130EDT triplet apo. It's significantly more expensive than your Bresser but much cheaper than a comparable Takahashi. I do...

Hi James. She got me a 127mm fraunhofer refractor... https://www.firstlightoptics.com/bresser-telescopes/bresser-messier-ar-127l-1200-refractor-ota.html I already have something similar, a Meade AR5, but while it is good at Ha wavelengths there is a lot of spherical aberration at CaK. The Bresser is...

Excellent disk given those skies Eric!

Very nice views indeed! Send some sun my way

Thanks Terry. The link on my website seems dead now too. I did find this though https://stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov/beac ... cchi.shtml

Maybe they've had a new website for Christmas?

Good report James, thank you! the sun has quietened off quite a bit, it'll pick up soon though i'm sure. Keep the reports coming and sunny skies!

Very nice images Eric, they came out well!

Good results Stu! Glad you got some sunshine. Using the 150 this time of year is brave but they came out surprisingly well.

Thanks Terry! Just cloud here as far as the weather forecast goes forward!

Thanks guys! The pier will be tall enough when the head is on to 'see over' my neighbours fence so I can still see the sun in the winter months. It will definitely be getting a NASA sticker on the fins for effect. Careful topiary means a wall of plants will surround it to make it invisible to prying...

I saw some nice aurora pics on the BBC today.

Do you have any north facing coast close to you Stu? (not that you could go there atm )
