I'm envious.
What was the source of your glare? It's something I'm plagued with, though with a quark, when looking at proms..
At least I seem to remember so, it's been a terrible week with rain and cloud too frequent to note......

There's nothing wrong with your set up. You're now on the slippery slope, wallet warning.... Full discs are easily obtained (!), by creating mosaics.

Thank you all 🙂 I have a Lunt 40mm on a Solarquest mount (hence the corrected field rotation visible in the second GIF), a 2x Barlow, a 5x Barlow and a ZWO ASI174MM.

Re: 27 January Full disk mosaic and coronal rain
Nice FD and animations, Jan. Not sure what kit you’re using, but it is critical that all elements along the light train are optimally aligned and perpendicular to the optical axis. Any gravity induced droop will cause the image to be partly off band. This applies both to the etalons and blocking fi...

Given that level of detail, what fps were you using on the 178?
