Congratulations on a fine set of images and photos. :bow You can probably confirm the benefits of countryside v towns for seeing and imaging. We follow the activities of a small number of narrow-boaters on YouTube. A cruise is very relaxing on the big 4k screen. The local canals were largely overgro...
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everybody. I have my RA drive on the desk so I couldn't image in today's glorious sunshine. Though I was able to have a quick peek in white light with the 90mm & Lunt wedge. Three clear spots in a row and uniform surface detail. Well worth a look if you can! :...

Ha Ha Rusted. My chief Flying Instructor taught me to "Stick my finger out, and if gets wet - it's raining" "If you can light a fag outside - there is not much wind" "Watch the way the smoke drifts, for wind-direction" "If you can't see the smoke, it was probably too-windy to light the fag outside ...
I don’t really intend to replace my visual exploits with imaging but use imaging to support it, much like I use GONG and SDO now though they will remain valuable because they show me what’s going on beforehand. I could see imaging replacing descriptions though if I got good at this. Images can easi...
