Possibly the worst seeing I've ever encountered , I was just about to pull the trigger on a 152/1200 to up my game a little but as things are it'd be a complete waste of cash so I'm going to stick at 100mm for the foreseeable ...

Managed to scrape a few frames together from the mush on a day I'd put aside for a good long session , best laid plans and all that ...

Nice what you were able to pull out of the mush!

Nice what you were able to pull out of the mush!

Thanks Warren ,

Looks OK but it was a struggle to find anything worth stacking , the ones I used today I'd have binned without a second thought yesterday ...

Great outcome considering what you had to work with Steve.
We have come to the same conclusion, that spending any more money is a total waste unless we change address as well.
Solar imaging is a fickle and frustrating game!

I like the idea of a 127 to 152mm refractor also but like you, my local seeing would limit its use. A can only optimally use my Celestron 102 with luck 20 percent of the time. The Orion70, Astro-Tech AT72EDII and Coronado 60 handle the seeing much better than the Coronado 90 and C102 do.

Nice disk Steve! I know what you mean about the seeing, I certainly can't use 152mm all the time.
