It was great to see a "whitelight" image winning the Solar section , the incredible achievement of catching 360 days of sunshine in one calendar year put my 311 days in 2014 to shame , congratulations Soumyadeep Mukherjee ... 🤩

I have great respect for Pete , but this was not supposed to be a PL tribute show ... from as esteemed an astrophotographer as he is I expected more that's all ... 🙄

Give me your address and I'll happily send them home sir ... 🤣

If you saw the sky I was shooting through you'd understand the title ... 🤣 Sun's just out of frame top left ....

Seriously frustrating session , even greyer and hazier than yesterday , found just one frame to play with ... 😪

Thoroughly disappointing episode to be perfectly honest ... 🙄

I'm not sure the soft landing engines actually fired ... ? The landing looked pretty hard to me ... fair play to them for sticking with the live broadcast though ... 🙂

If you're thinking of shooting in the blue patch between three thunderstorms .... don't bother ... 🤣

Dreadful seeing so a bit of a mushy image lacking detail ... 😢 And a handy tip for any Solar imagers that want to grab a quick Lunar image for a change ....... if you remember to take your Baader AstroSolar Safety film off the front of your telescope before proceeding it will save you ten minutes faffing about thinking your new camera has died .... 🤣 🙄

The EOS 2000D chucks out 6000 x 4000 px frames ... luckily you can go into the Config. file in Autostakkert and adjust the image size parameters or I'd be stuffed trying to stack 'em ... 🤣 The stacked TIFF from AS!3 comes out at 330Mb ... !!!

"Patience is a virtue" so they say ... took 5 attempts to get a shot today between heavy downpours and three layers of cloud coming from three different directions ... trying to catch a gap was a challenge to say the least , I got there by starting shooting as soon as the histogram started to twitch upwards and hope for the best ... At least I got to stack a few (17) frames today ... 🤣
-
Just four frames captured between heavy showers , this is the "best" of the four ... 🙄 But at least I didn't have to mess about stacking etc ... 🤣

First light with the new 24.1Mp EOS 2000D (Rebel T7) Still some creases to iron out but I'm very happy with the first shots. Seeing was pretty poor so hoping for better results in still air.
