HA on 8 March

Post by vineyard »

Hello,

Have not had much chance to do much for a while. What awfulness is happening. Saw the thread from Valery - hope they come through this. I'm sure the solar community will give him huge support when they do (lots of orders). Btw, if anyone has ever bought an EQStar go-to mount modification from Astragadget in Kharkhiv, I did hear from Alexander a week or so ago - they were all being heavily bombed and living in basement bomb shelters; their resolve was undimmed.

Anyway, enough of that. Finally managed to sit under the sun for a bit - not as much time as I would have liked, but here are some images anyway. Some NR on the prom closeup (that's w a 2.5xPM & ASI290MM) - the others are ASI178MMcool. I need to learn how to take good flats b/c w the PM+290MM combination there are too many dust bunnies (this framing got lucky).

Cheers

Nice shots!

Can you keep attached file size down thanks, 10mb images take ages to load and and take up server space. Alternatively link them via a file sharing site like flickr / astrobin. Cheers! :)

Thanks for the news Vineyard, it is always good to hear people are OK, we worry so much when we hear nothing.

What beautiful images, I really love the full disc :bow :hamster:
