Hello Brian and Franco.
Here are some answers to your feedback.

Hi Jozef...
The filament looks good, and your seeing monitor readout looks a lot like my seeing so far this year
Brian

This year the Seeing is very very bad. Only rare times values under SSM 1.6.

That is a great close-up of the filament, Jozef ! I really like it !

Are you using the Hinode guider ?
Franco

Yes, I use the Hinode Guider. This is a perfect tool.

Thanks for sharing Oreoluna, can you say why did you choose to use binning ?
I have tried it a few times on my 152mm Quark set up but the final images always seemed to lose definition, the final detail seemed less present than non binned.
Was it because of seeing conditions I wonder ?

Hello Alexandra and Ewan.
Thank you for the feedback.

@Ewan: the binning is currently the only medium against Seeing problems. The G3 makes 21Fps with binning 41Fps.

Looks to be a good result when the seeing is less than optimal for your big scope.

@Ewan - what camera are you using?

[ffellah]

That second light is a killer. Jozef, you should start putting together a photography book about the sun !
