Stephen Ramsden, I could of never done this without you changing my life values. You are a mountain of positivity! I am in your debt.

So many people, from the astronomy community perpetuate negativity. How do you fix it after 6 years? By proving them wrong.

Mark Townley, I collaborated with you for many years and you are a great friend!
Martin Wise, You were the most positive support I have ever received, and I have enjoyed every moment you have been around.

CaK proms the most difficult thing to image superb shot Apollo

Very nice! With no halo/reflection, just a solid prom with structure, very lovely!

Very best,

I agree with Alexandra, it is very difficult to image CaK proms, well done

i figured out how to make them 25% brighter, here is at f8.3 90mm objective. no additional lenses. no barlows, no telecentrics, no powermates, no collimators.

Calcium takes prominence imaging to a whole new level.

Apollo:
Very interesting information, always wanted to get a Skybender and one of your Chroma filters, but I do not live in the U.S.A., so could not find how to.
Yesterday I tried to get the most of my CaK mod, it was an improvement but the weather did not cooperate, it rained.
Best regards,
Eric.
