September 8 2022 WL Imaging Session.

Post by DeepSolar64 »

Today's session was a short 20 minutes just after 15:00 UTC. It was mostly cloudy and clouds ended the session. The temperature is a mild 70F ( 21.1C ) The seeing looks to be a bit above average.

I imaged using the Orion70 telescope mounted on the Sky-Watcher AZGTI using the 540nm Baader filter on the Point Grey Grasshopper camera. Image capture and processing was done on the MacBook Pro using ASTRO IIDC and GIMP and sharpened using the Paint.net program.

I'll dedicate these images to my fellow white light imager Steve Ward. He fought clouds today.

James

Oh James, thanks so much for a little cheer. I'm so sad beyond words at the moment I can't think. Our beloved Queen is dead :( I never thought that would ever happen :(

Oh no! I certainly offer condolences to You and all of the British people and certainly to the Royal Family. All of you well be remembered in prayer.

I am glad I could bring you at least a little cheer. I was quite satisfied with these images.

Thank you Arne. I was satisfied with them. The small inexpensive Orion70 does surprisingly well on both visual and imaging.
