Re: November 18th - Ha Session

Great collection, Brian!
Good luck on the weather. We had our first snow here (New Mexico) Friday night. El Nino should be good for us in that regard.

Re: North East Active Regions H alpha

That's a beautiful image and processing - very dramatic! We got a wheely-bar type thing (with leveling screws) to move our heavier mount around, and that helps a lot. Kevin Thanks Kevin, here's two pictures of my setup, the old telescope tipped the scales at 15kg, the one I'm using now is only 6kg....

Is that just the effect of greater selectivity from the narrower bandpass - that is, greater rejection of the photosphere signal (as happens ...
