Hi Everyone.
After a long winter, vast amounts of snowfall and, finally, a few days of torrential downpour with associated flooding across the province, I've finally been able to set up for an imaging session! The window of opportunity was short and the seeing average but I managed some H-alpha, high resolution shots of two active regions currently in view.
The gear: Aries (Valery) ERF, Celestron C8 Edge, Moonlite CHL focuser, ~4.4x Telecentric, Daystar QPE 0.6A, Point Grey USB3 Grasshopper IMX174.
Cheers.
Peter
