Re: Appenzellersun 24th april, experimental shots

It looks really good Walter, but, for it to be a keeper would need that rust to be fixed. I am impressed with the 3D look it gives. If it a reasonable cost to fix then it does have potential...

Re: Some Sun on a Saturday - 20th April

Last one from saturdays session - I promise...

This was taken with the 70mm @ 800mm fl, shows well I think how the smaller aperture is actually giving a better image compared to the 127mm image above that suffered from the poorer seeing...

Re: Some Sun on a Saturday - 20th April

Just one more image from saturdays bonanza - i did try the 127mm in Ha but this really was pushing the seeing way too much! It's a bit soft, but if you squint it will pass ;)

Re: AR11726 - Ellerman Bombs - The Movie 20th April

Thanks everyone! Yes, seeing and transparency were variable throughout the duration of this which is a shame, but pleased to have got it. I'm going to keep aware of things happening at CaK wavelengths in active regions in the future as there's quite a bit going on - some CaK flaring would be nice...

Seeing and transparency was variable (as always) throughout the duration, and so some frames are sharp, othe...
