Bluetooth? Zoom? Remote Desktop? I know little or nothing on the subject but still managed to use an Android tablet to control and view my Sony HD action camera. How did you do it? Bluetooth? Memory fade. This was years ago now. I'd use my action camera on a tall, telescopic pole. This was before d...

Thanks Mark.

Collimation was a nightmare!
The folding mirrors really need remote control rods.
With collimation adjustment knobs on the back plate.
I preferred to use the simpler, straight tubed version.

Thank you all for your encouragement!

There is also the Porsa building system of aluminium tubes and reinforced plastic joints. The joints are hammered into the square tubing using a rubber mallet. The result is a very stiff construction capable of supporting aquaria. Though not particularly lightweight. Here is my take on the Porsa sys...

Thank you rusted, actually there is an uneven brightness across my field, in each position of the etalon tuning ring. I deal with that thanks to flats, but this uneven brightness makes quite hard to find the good tuning Sorry, I didn't know you were using flats to even out the PST imbalances. I pre...

The seeing conditions were impossible this morning.
They had improved a bit after lunch. Still soft and "boiling."

Incredible detail and scale! Congratulations on your skill!

Great stuff Mark!

Thank you.

Thank you all for your kind words and for the honour of a SPOD amongst so many talented imagers.

Hi Dennis,

Thanks.

AR3040 looks to be a very active feature.

Thank you all for your encouragement!

Superb animation!

You must have incredible patience!

Dear Fabio, This is not mean to be a criticism of your image. I am just trying to help you make quicker progress with ImPPG. I struggled for ages with ImPPG and desperately needed advice. So now I am passing on the favour. Here is a screen grab of ImPPG on my own computer using part of your image . ...

I can't confirm the AR number because Space Weather is showing yesterday's chart. I captured quite a nice image of AR3040 at 13.56 [UTC] It flared immediately afterwards as I was searching for new targets. I returned to AR 3040 at 14.01 [UTC] to discover the flare. Meanwhile thin high cloud ruined t...

Amazing!

Have you considered using two 2" star diagonals to bend the long filter stack back on itself?
It might need a spacer between the diagonals to further separate the parallel beams.
Cross bracing would be useful to keep everything stiff.

Hello JP. It was your fabulous imagery which inspired me to get involved in H-alpha solar imaging.

Thank you.

Superb images! :bow They look fine for tuning. Very even brightness and detail. :bow Ellerman bombs tend to be very small, round white spots on my 150/10 PST mod. As Mark says: Aim for the darkest, most evenly lit and evenly detailed image on your monitor. Increasing the gain, or the exposure, will ...

Thanks to all who responded so positively. :bow I don't see my images as particularly good. Certainly not in comparison with some of the great work posted here. So all the encouragement keeps me going back to the telescope. I like to think that my humble efforts will encourage others to post their r...

Nice shots Chris, that filaprom looks ghostly being able to see the limb through the filaprom portion! Than you Warren. :bow I was trying to assemble two or more images into one [for the filaprom] using MS ICE but it refused to play. Claimed my images weren't taken from the same viewpoint. :D Chris

Thank you Warren.

Very useful information and things to try ourselves.
Albeit without your masterful processing skills and/or DS.

Chris
