Ibbo!

Turn it off leave 1/2 hour and try again works wonders.

Steve's theory of capacitors losing their charge.

Probably a load of codswallop but...

Isn't tech wonderful.

Lunt 60mm double stacked with the x2.5 powermate and 178 cam

Do the clicky thing for full res.

Tak 102 and Sx 694

11x 900 secs over 2 nights.

Edited for proper sub length.

Not processed in Pixinsight as it did not come out too well so back to APP and PS.

Do thew clicky thing for full res.

IIRC

undo the central one and then gentley nip up the other 2 and test if you can move that axis, if you can nip a bit more till you have resistance then tighten the central grub screw to give you smooth movement.

Be careful not to overtighten go slowly a bit at a time and try to do the cap heads evenly.

After a bunch of issue with AS3 I have gone back to AS2

I think your choice of star is too bright and saturating.

i run my old EQ6 without PEC as it seems to work better.

Apart from that and rechecking the fitment of things nothing comes to mind striaght away.

As Dave says try increasing expousre time and actually see what an image looks like.

What is the f/l of the guider.

Thank you Steve! Hoping for some steadier skies, but I'll take any sky without clouds!

Even when it looks to be clear I have plagued with a lot thin high stuff for months now.

We can hope.

Lovely first image.

Very nice.

Excellent, and caught the jumping off prom, bit of blue sky this morning but didn't last long, managed a bit this evening but clouded out now.

Dave

Thanks Dave.

At one stage I think I saw the snow coming down in the preview image.

A bit like this ?

Its all a myth I tell you, the sun does not exist.

Nice images .

Nice you got some captures. What Lunt Ca-K filter are you using b600, b1200 or larger? Have you tried ImPPG after stacking. It's a free software specific for solar image's. Thanks for sharing.

600 and yes I use ImPPG.

I'm using my Lunt with an ED 80 and flat fielding with a plastic bag (more successful than with Ha)

I will be trying out the 127 1200 Bresser when the sun gets a bit more elevation from here.

Getting better results with the larger pixel sized Pt Grey Blackfly Cam, though again that could be down to elevation.

With big thanks to Peter Shah for the tip.

Ha 24 x 1200 ( 18 SX 694 & Tak 102 - 6 QSI & WO132)

O3 6 x 1200 QSI & WO132

S2 4 x 1200 QSI & WO132

Just a passing thought M45 was not far from Mr B on the 25th.

Thanks Pete.

Looks interesting Steve, will add it to my long list of things to do, not in a good direction for me at this time of year.

Dave

Not really for me but a Ha target a bit further away fro Mr B than what I was going to add to.
