I’ll stick my neck out and say it is definitely an image of NLC. Interesting structure and typical ‘waviness’.

Nice shot.  👍
 

edit: just noticed that rather smart scope in your profile pic. Oooh!

Many thanks

Certainly looks like it to me, is it looking north?  If so then I'd say yes for sure.

North east Craig 

Taken the other morning around 4am. Is this noctilucent cloud?  Albeit a weak display.

Well done Nigella, excellent photo of our nearest star. 

I sold my Lunt LS60 when solar minimum started and regretted it so much I’m gonna re acquire and the good news is that I can also use it for night time viewing if I’m feeling lazy. 
looked at the Coranado Solarmax iii however I’ve been warned off them. Shame as I was keen to see what tilt tuning offered over pressure.

We've come out of the lowest point in solar activity so things are hoting up. No pun intended, lol. Activity is above expectations 🤣

Nice prom. We must be nearing the end of solar minimun, surely only a year or two left before the good times start again. 

Nice prom.  Just realised there is plenty more of solar minimum till the fun starts again. 

Yes I had the LS 60. Was a fine scope. Regretted selling it.  Liked the tilt tuning on the Coranado but seems like a company to avoid then. 

Same here, slowly being drawn back into solar…..oh gawd 😂😂

Has this scope been discontinued as I cannot find it anywhere in the UK. Says awaiting stock on Meade UK.

Excellent report 

Very nice. I’ve been out of the solar game for 3 or more years but getting back into it again. Sold my Lunt but now looking at the Coronado solar max iii 70mm.

So regret selling my LS60. So much so that I’m soon gonna be in the market for an LS80 with B1200.

Fantastic post
