I didn't get solar film today, maybe tomorrow.
Anyway, tonight is an excellent night for Star Gazing.
For the first time, I have managed to get the polar alignment correct.
I have also managed to get the speed correct on my single axis drive.
As a result I have managed to take my best shot so far. The picture is of Arcturus in the east tonight about 22:00.
This was taken with a 30 second exposure, with and ISO of 800. The DSLR camera was mounted directly on the scope.
I realise there is a lot of light pollution, but besides that problem, I'm really pleased with the image.
