Re: Solar starvation
Thanks Franco, I just put an Astrobin link in there as well for a Zoom in view. It's been tough being a Solar viewer/imager on the water where I am living Ralph has fared better living inland. Most of the next 7days are looking rubbish for me.

Solar starvation
The last 6 months here on the "Sunny Gold Coast" in Queensland, Australia (about 700km North of Sydney by crow or 850km by car) have been the toughest in my 3 years of Solar viewing/imaging weatherwise. Animations lately are a no show, so you take what you can get and yesterday morning I d...

Animation SW Prominence testing replaced Quark
I have been waiting for what seems like ages to get some time to test out my Quark Chromosphere that was replaced under warranty... I managed several hours of testing yesterday; the seeing was well below par but early results are that this one should do the job on Solar Prominences quite nicely. I u...

Re: Thursday Session Ha 11-04-2024
I think I got lucky after lunch Martin. The wind was from the South where I am protected. The Solar Scintillation Monitor and Telescopius were in agreement that things had improved in the afternoon. Though much of my morning session was discarded, I can see you have finer detail around AR 3628 than ...

Re: AR3635 & Filaprom animation Up n Over Down Under

AR3628 Animation Up n Over Down Under
Challenging day for a whole host of reasons. So I didn't start until late and that put me in the Western danger zone, well for me anyway. Add to that an increasing Jetstream, with the end results as seen in the 110 minute animation. I had to delete a number of frames to even get it to this, but its ...

Re: Animation AR3627 Up n Over Down Under
Thanks all, this now looks more like it is AR3628 which hadn't been named on Spaceweather or Solar Synoptic chart when I caught this yesterday. AR3627 was noted just to the East. I can't image today but I am more convinced my catch is actually the larger AR3628 after looking at GONG just now.

Seeing was somewhat on the improve this morning though there were moments when it went to mush. But I did manage to capture 2 hours of emerging AR3628 on the Suns Eastern limb from UT 2024/04/03 00:02 to 02:12

Thanks for presenting Franco. I use the Daystar Interference Eliminator, but it may add just as much space as the ZWO tilter. I assume you don't use an extension tube that you could leave out. The Daystar is more expensive than the ZWO tilter but I find easier to remove the NR.
