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

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...

Re: January 12 2021 Observations. Calm Sun.
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...

Re: January 12 2021 Observations. Calm Sun.
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...

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?

Re: January 9 2021 Observations
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...
