Great images ... super detail in there ... But you already posted them on Friday ... ! -
They say you have to take the rough with the smooth ... but in this game you sometimes have to take the rough with the rougher and cross your fingers ...

A Canon EOS 1000D is what I use for all my Solar Imaging if it's of any help ... I don't own an i-Phone ( or any other type of smartphone) for comparison though ...

You would be better off posting the images in a format that allows us to see them , I'm sure I am not alone in refusing to download unknown files in order to view them. Sorry.

Takahashi EM11 Temma2 Jr goes wrong on GOTO
Steve Ward replied to JayMS's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Probably an incorrectly entered 'Time' or 'Time zone' or 'Daylight Saving' information . Were you by any chance about 15 degrees off target ? -

Cleaning primary mirror.
Steve Ward replied to Dave scutt's topic in Getting Started General Help and Advice
After forty years working with my hands , mainly in construction , I would never dare try that finger method , my fingers are far too hard and calloused to put anywhere near a front surface mirror. The chap in the video looks like he's never done anything but tap on a keyboard and wash-up so is probably fine with it ... 🤣 -
Nice detail , but the Moon set against a beautiful blue sky is one of life's little joys in my world ...

Managed to catch just seven frames through the clouds , and just this one frame showed any detail ... better luck next time eh ...

Astronomy kit is the one thing that I never buy online and have delivered . I always insist on picking kit up in person and checking the contents before departing for home. This way I get to let all the included clouds out of the boxes at the vendors location rather than my own ...
