Hi Arne,

Beautiful images and great Aurora images

Hi, Here some measly and puny images from yesterday. I played a bit with my discs and now I understand the fashion and purpose of inverted images :mrgreen: FullDisc_WL_2023-11-24_Y.jpg FullDisc_WL_2023-11-24.jpg FullDisc_Ha_2023-11-24_Y.jpg FullDisc_Ha_2023-11-24_IY.jpg FullDisc_Ha_2023-11-24_I.jpg ...

Hi Alexandra,

Beautiful images

Hi,

Excellent images

Hi,

Excellent images

He did a wonderful job. I am surprised you liked this one. You are not usually a fan of inverted imagery. James Hi James, I do not like inverted images but it looks like since less then a year it seems to be like "Inverted is the New Black" and it remembers me like a new Way of Life. When...

Hi,

Something like this and so you can move it for adjusting focus via the window on the cover like thesmiths mentioned. For the holes in the cover you just make some cover plates

I found the same video with an English expalanation

A bit of Gossip Hi, A friend send me this link https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=874177127206588 Este impresionante time-lapse del Sol fue tomado usando una cámara Player One Saturn-M SQR y un telescopio Lunt LS100. Se capturó un total de 3 TB de datos como resultado de una película solar de alta r...

Hi, Good start and excellent improvement of the Sol'Ex. Especially the way you focus the camera and collimation lenses compared to the original Sol'Ex. That is how it should be from the beginning. A sliding adjustment with 3D printed parts is a real nuisance and you solved it beautifully. I also se...

Rainer - I noticed that your demod is in the QRSS3-slow mode. Try a plain CW or SSB mode and see if the high counts go away. Bob Hi Bob, Thank You. The problem is not with ARGO but with SpectrumLab from which I send the signals to colourgramme. Is there a setting in Spectrum lab which might be wron...

Hi, Interesting behaviour of Meteor showers. After the Leonids peak on November 18th yesterday and today I got huge signals starting at about 10:00 UTC. According to the IMO and e-Zine there are no major peaks for any shower fot hese days. https://www.imo.net/files/meteor-shower/cal2023.pdf https://...

Well done Rainer and I am glad you are getting signals, it is a shame the other stations have stopped. I have listened to the pings live from a NASA site once and it was really cool. You are lucky as it was cloudy all weekend here so no chance of visual. Alexandra Hi Alexandra, Clouds do not interf...

Hi, I just looked through some ARGO images. I save an image every 543 seconds so a iamge depicts a time span of 543 seconds or 9m3s. Peak as predicted by e-zine meteor news was at 7:00 hours local time which is on my images now 13:00 hours UTC time. I changed the PC time in order to comply with the ...

Hi, Leonids seem to be over and it looks like there was some activity. Below the result of the reference station in USA from Nelson and mine. There are just two RMO stations left in Mexico and those are Aguirre and mine, All other 3 or 4 stations I helped to set up went down the drain... :( I am a l...

Hi Danielle, Please upload the RAW video somewhere and so we can analize your RAW material eg video A good place for transferring is wetransfer which accepts free of charge up to 2GB. In case the video is bigger just clip it under 2GB and post the transfer link. I have a friend who also is a Sun ima...

Hi, Just testing if I still know how to do this Sol imaging :mrgreen: I did not change the setup to my usual imging for making mosaics. Still with the full disc setup for the failed Partial Solar eclipse of October 14th 2023. Have been too lazy to do anything and also a bit tired... https://rainereh...

I'm haunted by another stupidity in my head. On the 150mm refractor, put four tiltable LS40s in front. This would solve the DERF and DSII etalon. The surface would be the same as the LS80, but the angular resolution could be better. The question is what the diffractions from the four etalons would ...

https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/698786-imx178-grid-artifact-bug-mostly-squashed/ this is an interest dive into the subject as well. If I look at Danelle's image it is completely dofferent to what is depicted in Cloudynights message Danielle's image has marked horizotal lines as if the camera wou...

Hi, Is the pattern visible at 100% zoom? Sometimes a certain zoom ratio produces strange things... Hi Rainer, unfortunately I have not taken any actual capture with binning 1x1, I only have the screenshot shown in my initial post. Next time I will capture some frames at 1x1 binning and I will look ...

Hi,

Hi, What do the Geminids and an Asteroid have in common.
