Steve Ward replied to MartinB's topic in SGL Challenges and Competitions
Love the way the lightbridge tendrils are reaching out like two tiny pairs of arms ... -

Something obstructing view
Steve Ward replied to phantomgod_06's topic in Getting Started General Help and Advice
Just switching from the Moon to Venus wouldn't throw the focus out by that much ... π -
Perfect timing sir ... βΊοΈ

Something obstructing view
Steve Ward replied to phantomgod_06's topic in Getting Started General Help and Advice
I'd guess that there's a spacer/extension missing from the set-up somewhere , or one fitted that's not needed , for the image to be that far from focus . -
Thanks Geoff , hope you get to catch it before it slips from view.

The life of the "Biggun" AR13354 , June/July 2023.
Steve Ward replied to Steve Ward's topic in Imaging - Solar
The clue is stamped on the video Stu ... the data is from the SDO/HMI Continuum stream , all the SDO wavelengths are available to download and play with. I'd do well to capture 24 hours a day even if the weather co-operated ... π -
On the contrary Stu , it was lovely and stady up there . I just spent too long harvesting full disc frames and the clouds returned just as I got the 174 plugged in so the close-up was just 60 rough frames , there was nigh on as much detail in the full disc from the 2000D ... π

Steve Ward posted a topic in Imaging - Solar
One frame more than I should have got to be honest , but it was nice to say goodbye to the monster AR before it slips from view ... π -

Steve Ward replied to MartinB's topic in SGL Challenges and Competitions
Well having at long last got to play with the new Altair 174MM Hypercam I'm very pleased with its first taste of sunshine . A collection of close-ups from the 2nd July , all slightly different settings as I was finding my feet , and an AS!3 2x Resampled offering in the middle. -

Thanks to the "must have the latest tech" folks there are some fantastic DSLR deals around as loads turn to mirrorless systems ... π I've just snapped up an EOS 6D with only 16,000 on the clock for Β£220 for my whitelight solar imaging on the Evostar 150 ... WEX , MPB and Park Cameras are well worth checking on a regular basis ...

It's still a bit hit and miss here Michael . Even as recently as 10 minutes ago I've just been greeted with a page teling me the site doesn't exist ... forgot to screenshot it but if it goes again I'll do so next time. Thanks for al the hard work you continue to do for us all. Regards , Steve.
