    That'd be an "Americanism" pure and simple , I'm sure they mispronounce our language just for the hell of it ... 😄
  2. Steve Ward
    An example image would go a long way ... 😉

    You just need to download "JHelioviewer" and you can access all of NASA's historical SDO data and make your own videos from it ... 😉

    A little more info would be handy , i.e. camera make and model. Presuming you're talking about previewing images you've just shot on the camera ... ? When you zoom in to 10x you have to scroll around with the navigation button to find small details. The info will be in the instruction book.

    And "Barlow" ... 😉

    Well as it's somebody's name I think that's rather petty and schoolyard-like , how would you like folk to start referring to something related to you as Jabba or Neddie rather than your real name ... 😄

    Thick grey blanket to shoot through today so just glad to have caught something ...

    I wasted ten minutes this morning trying to figure why the view was all fuzzy and washed out with a bright clear sky ... ? Nice coat of condensation on both the Barlow and the objective (both hidden by filters) will do it after a frosty night ... hairdryer to the rescue ...

    Welcome back to it mate , much the same feeling here after a six month hiatus ... 😉

    Not sure historically , I'll have to have a Google. The biggest I've had the pleasure of witnessing was back in October of 2014 ... 😲

    Thanks for the kind words Chris ...

    Great catch sir ... 😀 Just needs a L-R flip ... 😉

    Long wait for the fog to lift meant no time for any close-ups today ( Six Nations beckons ... )

    The three X Class flares it's chucked out so far ... ! "Courtesy of NASA/SDO and the AIA, EVE, and HMI science teams." latest_1024_0304.mp4

    And extremely active too , it's chucked off an X 1.7 , X 1.9 and an X 6.3 so far .... !!!

    Had an unscheduled patch of blue first thing so jumped on it to get a shot of the 'big'un' ... 😊

    It's not something simple such as the focus lock screw being tightened which you've forgotten to loosen ?
  21. Steve Ward
    That's where I'm aiming for too ... 😉
  22. Steve Ward
    Back again ... been a while ... Had to remove a few cobwebs from the rig and struggle through the mist but happy to have got back in the saddle after a break of seven months ... 😊 SW Evostar 150 + Canon 6D + Baader ND3.8 + Oiii.

    So why restrict the 1000x potential to such limited use , surely it'd be used on everything especially planets , a little far-fetched would be my continuing belief. Anyone else using 1000x mag out there , I'm intrigued now.
  24. Steve Ward
    And exactly what EP is employed in a 100mm 'scope to give perfect views at 1000x magnification ... ? A magic 0.74mm TV of some description ... ?
  25. Steve Ward
    Lovely capture there ... So sorry to see that the image attracted so many idiots over on FB ...
