That’s a shame, Mark. So often the case. Sometimes the sky can be a lovely blue from horizon to horizon and then turn nasty just when things are setup ready to roll….

Thank you but why do not write your set up?=)) Hi Oleg, I’m getting lazy…. :lol: Ha FD is a mosaic taken with a Lunt 60 triple stacked, fitted with a 2.7x Barlow and Basler acA2440-075 um camera. CaK FD is also a mosaic, taken using a modified Lunt B1800 module (Baader K-line and Omega filter repla...

Thank you, everyone. Much appreciated.

Many thanks, Alexandra and Arne. Back to clouds and rain this Thursday afternoon.

Beautiful FDs, Mark. I’d be delighted with these. I’m not sure how much further tweaking you could do, but I’m sure you’ll eventually squeeze out every last drop of capability from your setup.

Idyllic, James. Sounds like a wonderful way to spend some time alone. I'd second Mark's recommendation to add a floatation device to your keys....or tie them to your belt

Stu.

Carbon60

Gorgeous lake view, James. Nice solar images too.

Stu.

Carbon60

Superb, Mark.
Your calcium images remain sublime and very impressive.

Superb, Paul. Great animation....solar dynamics in action.

A busy session, Brian. Lovely results. The sun is looking great at the moment.

Stu.

Carbon60

A nice set of images, particularly the CaK FDs.

Very nice, Steve. The Sun is looking great currently.

Stu.

Looks great, Ivan. Lovely result and nice setup.

A second day of Sun...yay, but not without some scudding clouds making for a frustrating imaging session, especially making mosaics. The seeing wasn't great for the close views :roll: :roll: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53660775448_fe22b52abd_o.png 20240417_CaK_FD_mono by Stuart Green , on Fl...

Carbon60

Many thanks, everyone. It was great just to get some sun-time after such a long spell of wet weather. Sunny again this morning...but the clouds look to be moving in again

Cheers

Stu.

Carbon60

I got all set up under a blue sky, focused, tuned, refocused and lo and behold the clouds rolled in. The cloud magnet worked like a charm :roll: :roll: Checking around it looked set for a while, so I packed everything away....and took my Labrador for a walk. About an hour later the blue returned and...

Amazing prom, Rob.

Stu.

Carbon60

Thanks, James.
Tomorrow could be the day…. The weather report looks favourable, but you never really know. It feels like ages since I last got on the scopes.

Stu.

Carbon60

Nice results, Michael.

Stu.

Carbon60

Lovely images, Petr.

That scope amazes and terrifies me at the same time.

Nice images, James.

Stu.

Carbon60

Lovely images, James. The prom colour does look close to their natural colour. We’ll done.

Stu.

Carbon60

Great images and Timelapse, Rainer.

I’m surprised you didn’t make it to the centre line though. You can’t have been very far away from totality.

Stu.

Carbon60

Looks like you were all having fun…and that’s the main thing. Lovely images as well. Boom.

Stu.

Carbon60

Nice and atmospheric with those passing wispy clouds. Lovely image.

Hello Mark,

Just thinking of a larger square sensor which I can use for both my solar and lunar imaging.

Paul,
You should try making a mosaic FD at this image scale (2x Barlow). It would be awesome.

Stu.

Carbon60

Cool

What a time to capture a transit

Stu.

Carbon60

These are excellent, Paul. Glad you got to see and image something of the eclipse.

Stu.

Carbon60

Done. Great cause, Stephen. Glad to be a part of it.
