Hi-Resolution images from London, UK again using the CR-150 (CR-6)

Post by solarGain »

This from the same popular CR-150, aka the CR-6. This all prior to Bob’s useful info on shimming with 3.2mm spacers (Ca-K), they are on there way to me.
3 days in a row with the sun after nearly 4 weeks of poor no sun weather. The first two were very poor but today the seeing was steady and and occasionally around the 1 arc second mark.
These images caught before 1.00pm LONDON time. The difference in these images shows how fast things were changing.
I would like more of the same, time will tell and it might be interesting to see what the shims might achieve versus the SAFIX.
All the best
John
