Here is the only one I’ve ever seen (sun on the right, dog on the left). Not as good a photo as Nigella’s. My phone was struggling with the sun fully in shot. I was really surprised by how bright the dog appeared. Paul

Great series of images. Love the shot of ISS going past the sun spots. Mr Cooper must be, quite rightly, very proud of them. Paul

What equipment got you into astronomy?

I accidentally bought a Skywatcher 10” Dob off eBay quite late one night. I’d always wanted a telescope….. Little did I know what that scope would show me! Great thread. Paul -
Welcome back from just south of Oxford. Hope that the light pollution isn’t too bad. Paul

Thanks. Sounds interesting. Paul

Ipad iOS update - Now Sky Safari doesn't work!
Paul73 replied to lukebl's topic in Discussions - Software
That is worrying. I guess that my iPad hasn’t updated yet….. -
Great write up. Glad that you are enjoying your new scope. It may be heavy, but that beats having a bendy scope! You’ll find the light shroud a subtle but definite improvement. I got one for my 10” flextube Skywatcher and was pleased with the increased contrast. Paul
-
Nice write up Nick. What scope were you using? Paul
-
You have certainly wrung every last bit of use out of that frame!!! Perfect timing! Paul

Nice report John. The ED120 is truly a versatile scope! I haven’t had a decent session on the nebulas for ages. Must get out under the moon rather than not bothering because I can’t see faint galaxies. Paul -
Very atmospheric!
-
Very nice. Plenty of mirror for those faint fuzzies! I treated mine to a light shroud. Improved contrast and kept foreign bodies at bay. Enjoy. Paul
-
Cracking images. Almost 3D! Thanks for posting them. Paul
-
Sounds like a fun session. You did well to catch the Hamburger with only 100mm. Paul
-
Transparency ok here. Just an enjoyable romp through Leo/Vergo area for me. Particularly enjoyed the Markarian’s chain. Paul
-
Sounds like a great night. You really bring it to life. Paul

1+ For Sky Safari Paul

Got to wait for the family to go to bed and switch the house lights out. Then looking forward to a galaxy fest! I’ve got the Dob out cooling with a freshly washed mirror. Paul
-
An incredible number of galaxies! An outstanding image. Paul
-
Definitely a Dob night tonight! Paul

Glad that you enjoyed your new filter. Just wait until you see what it does on the Veil! Paul
-
Nice steady seeing here too! First day that I’ve had the solar gear out in ages. Paul
-
What a productive year! You should be very proud of that set. Paul

You won’t regret going large on your finder scope. I have a Celestron 70mm travel scope strapped to the side of my Dob. Teamed with a Telrad to get roughly in the right spot, it works a treat! Paul
