Well done Steve, very nice. You were lucky, I saw the Sun for about 20 minutes while it was behind a large tree prior to setting!

Thanks Dave it was rather an unexpected session.

I’ve heard of “off-axis guiding” (TBH I don’t know _exactly_ what it means). But that image seems to be taking the concept to an extreme? 🙂

The 2 Taks in question are the FS60, which was doing solar imaging at the time with the hershel wedge and the NJP mount is the other.

The larger scope is a Toscano 200mm RC which had its guide replaced with the FS and is pointing the "wrong way" so as to ensure it did not point at the sun.

I forgot to add, my clothes reflect my skin, wrinkled in places.
Ironing is something for Weddings, Funerals and Interviews.

My dear Mum used to Iron everything, Underpants, socks etc. Put me off for life!

My mom did that as well as did Helen until her knees got bad and there was no chance I was doing it as it was pointless, in my view.

It is a Dark Art that looks to need seating, performed by those with smooth clothes.

Oh I now remember,I have prefected the wrinkled look (including skin) and can achieve it within 1 minute of puttting on perfectly ironed clothes.

I am confused- what is this ironing you speak of?

Ooh, controversial. I think this could kick off a healthy debate with @Ibbo! about the concept of ‘over socking’ 🤣

Yes do not exceed critical sock mass.

Whatever size allen key you need will be he one missing from the set and if they are all here they will be metric and you need imperial.
