Very good, hopefully in a couple days there will be some action on the disk.

[JochenM]

Still not much going on indeed. Nice disks regardless, Pedro.

Love the Questar Mak btw.

[pedro]

Thanks guys

If you are interested I wrote a small article on the Questar 3.5" Duplex

[pedro]

Thanks Rainer

WoW. A Questar! Not the classic constellation tube color though.

[Carbon60]

Nice images across the spectrum, Pedro.

Stu.

[pedro]

Thanks James & Stu

I bought the Questar a couple of years ago and it is the Duplex model without the classic tube with constellations and moon map

It is a great instrument and it can be used to observe the Sun as well. One has to be very careful using the internal finder (I forgot to use the filter for the finder today...), no harm done though

Check out this excellent video by Dave Trott

Looks like you had wonderful blue skies today at last and some super full discs the prominence is still amazing on the eastern limb

Thanks Alexandra

Blues skies only in the morning and lots of rain in the afternoon. The weather will improve during the weekend

Great images, Pedro. That's a good looking Duplex. I love the color of the older ones and those Questar Brandons are quite special as well. Thanks for the link to the article.

Questars are very nice scopes. I enjoyed the video.

[pedro]

Thanks again guys

If you enjoy vintage and old telescopes (like I do) I highly recommend Dave Trott's YouTube channel

Pedro:
Beautiful presentation and also the Questar Dúplex.
Pedro, look at this old mount, it still works and have used it with the Solarmax 90-DS.
Best regards y fuerte abrazo.
