Great shots, very high contrast on the surface features. You mention the Quark and the Lunt together in the same configuration? Are you using the Quark to achieve a "Triple stack" system with the Lunt and Quark?

Victor

Thanks a lot.

Not at the triple stage as yet just double, I also use x2 binning when I use the Quark one up or in the Lunt.

With my set up I have a JMI focuser and need about 150mm of extension once the blocker of the Lunt is out of the way.

it was a bit Heath Robinson as it was a hack of extensions .I have some ali tube on order that will find its way to the lathe chuck once it arrives on Weds ( I hope) then i will try triple.

I will put a picture up once I have it more presentable.

Not the 200mm D/S Lunt then, lol. 

Seeing in the UK is somewhat limiting so i think 100mm is about as far as I would go.

How about a nice 100mm D/S Lunt 😎

The trick is not to get distracted by the other precious items you rediscover on your search.

I fail on that quite regularly.

To be fair mine usually ends up as a bit of corrugated cardboard scrounged from the bin held together with duct tape cos I forgot the dew band or proper dew shield.

Not a dew shield but ...

Well caught.

Nice set Steve, I'd planned to get the LS60 out but took so long getting the other rig working I didn't get round to it and now the processing has gone pear shaped so giving up until tomorrow  / today.

How well I know that feeling.

Turn it off before I damage it.🔨

I think you need to reset the "Stack(name ) options " to default if I remember rightly.

Sounds like a bit of a trying session.

Nice one Charl.

Not looking good here again.

I have an event I'm supposed to be giving a talk and showing "live" views using a cam and PC at the end of Oct and I am thinking of pulling out looking at the latest data.

Well done Steve!

The soft seeing was a nightmare! Hours of frustration over two days so far!
I couldn't focus properly myself despite having an ultra-slow, DIY electric focuser.
I put it down to thin, high cloud causing a haze over the sun.
The weather has broken now and the sun gone into hiding.
Probably ashamed of itself.

Thanks .

It was indeed.

The seeing was a bit hazy yesterday as well now that the aviators seem to be back in business.  A bit light on proms after the recent examples but surface detail was centre stage.     🙂

Cheers Peter.

Yes they are, I hought they were playing noughts and crosses.

A fine set of images, great to see the scale on the Sun as well.  

Thanks Pete.

Took me a whle to sort out how to use the scale.
