Alexandra, Franco, and Eric... Thanks for your comments and feedback on the images...always appreciated :bow Alexandra, I usually start with the FD images to see what should be targeted when I move to the larger scopes but sometimes I get clouded out before much chance of doing the hi-res work. Weat...

Hello everyone.. The promised clear skies eventually arrived this morning, but the seeing became increasingly poor as the morning progressed. I ran one set of full disk Ha images through the LS75FHa/B1200Ha on the William Optics 72mm scope, then switched to the CR-150 OTA that was refitted with both...

Very good results with the poor seeing limiting your efforts

Beautiful lunar image Valery!!!

I too quite like to explore this region, and the southern highland around Clavius are equally good.

Brian

Hi Marty...

Nice work and the longer focal lengths show their ability to find features on the relatively featureless disk. Nice work

Brian

Hi Pedro...

Nice set of FD images...always very sharp

Brian

Thanks Mark!!!

October has been more cloudy/wet than usual this year, and astronomical pursuits have been limited. Clear skies are still forecast for Sunday, so fingers are crossed fro a sunny day!

Brian

Looks like a great setup to motorize the focusing Ken!!!

Brian

Thanks everyone for the replies and comments ...they are always appreciated.

I’m holding out for more sun on Sunday.

Brian

Dena... I think you refer to a motorized focused as opposed to autofocus. Adding a motor is usually pretty easy and removes finger induced jiggles making focusing quite easy. I used JMI units for years until I started to upgrade the entire focuser to Moonlite which includes integrated motors. Quite ...

Hi everyone... Clear skies have been scarce around here the past month with few days offering more than a few hours of clear sky. This past Tuesday was an exception being clear from dawn to dusk, and work was quiet enough I managed to get some time to view and image over my lunch. As others have rep...

Great shots Eric, thanks for sharing

Brian

Very sharp images despite the conditions Eric

Brian

A superb collection Marty...well done

I suspect you had far better seeing than I had yesterday

Brian

Nice addition to the earlier images Lou

Brian

Hi Lou...

Great to see you had a chance to take advantage of the rare sunny skies today and the proms look great too

I managed to have time to image too...still processing. There were a number of small filaments as well.

Brian

Thanks for the filter sequence info!!!

Brian

Hi Alexandra...

A quiet disk, but the images are sharp and do have some small scale details. Nicely done

Brian

Very nice set of images Thomas

Brian

Hi Marty... The full disk is nice and sharp and the higher resolution images look good despite the seeing you had. These turned out quite well :bow All cloud the last few days, and woke to the first snow covered landscape today :shock: Hope for some sun on Tuesday if the forecast is half right. Brian

Hi Stu...

I hope you get more opportunity to compare the combinations!

Out of curiosity, is the Omega+Barlow installed before or after the B600 CaK module?

Brian

Great post and review of the prominence eruption everyone !!!

Brian

Hi Valery...

A fine example of the small scale details that can be found even in the descent to solar minimum. Excellent result

Brian

Hi Pedro...

A sharp set of images from this session
