Ibbo!

WL only as I have broken the Chameleon Bresser 127 Herschel Wedge

I restacked and processed the Ha and WL from the other day

Thanks Richard. Its that time of year for musical mounts -just wait for the music to stop.😄

Very good start. I'm sure you will.

I don't hunch as my pc is on a stand with a shroud and a thermal blanket to act as a shield., I spend hours out there. The 127 is a recent toy that I got for use with the HW and yes briefly but the seeing was not up to it I'm afriad. I am hoping for better when its gets a bit higher next year, at present it gets about 15° max.

That would be OK for me as I stand 😄

Good set Brian.

Thanks Dave . So have I .I thought I had missed out as the forecast was good for Thurs when I went to bed at about 4-30 am and we had cloud all day, I was most suprised to wake up to the sunny skies on Fri as the cloudy forecast is usually correct.

Thanaks a lot folks. I use it on either the ED80 or Tak 60. With the Chameleon cam I did a a 3 pane mosaic(I can do 2 but it can fail to register esp if its a low activity day) There is some vignetting but I use a flat field and gentle use of shdows & highlights in P/S. I really could do with an electric focuser though.

Seems like ages since my last view of our local star. At this time of year I need to move the mount around so I can get a chance to view it but from home but it still creeps across the rooftops.I do have a spot earmarked only a few hundred metres away that overlooks the fields and would be much better, but if I forgot something it would be a royal PITA as I could not leave the kit unattended even for a short while. Ha Lunt 60mm double stacked with coronado rich field tuner. Cak Lunt BF600 with the ED80. WL Herschel Wedge continium filter Bresser 127/1200 frac. All taken with the Pt Grey Chameleon cam. Do the clicky thing for full res (well worth it for the Cak image IMO)

Ha only with the dual rig. Dates:Nov. 3, 2020 , Nov. 22, 2020 Frames: Takahashi FS-102 3nm HA: 10x1800" bin 1x1 QSI690 William Optics FLT 132 Ha 7nm: 14x1200" bin 1x1 Starlight Xpress H694 Mono CCD Integration: 9.7 hours Do the clicky thing for full res.

There a lot of geosync sats in that area that do move slowly.

Thanks Michael, if the forecast is to be believed I may have a window in the morning and Sunday afters but then it looks like another week, what happened to the odd cool/cold sunny days we used to get at this time of year.

Thanks Charl -1st sol in a month. Thanks Luke ,back to normal raining here now.

Seeing was awful just after lunch and the cam needed a clean then of course the clouds and garage became a problem. I swapped locations and mounts later on and managed to get a run of Cak for full disc and tried the powermate before I swapped to ha to be once more be plagued by clouds. So it was Cak only.

I am impressed you got anything.

I think my upgrade was worth it to me. It is quite a jump in cost and I don't think the resulting image is 3 to 4 times bettter and that decision is yours only from say £50 to £200 is quite a leap for a 2" the 11/4" is cheaper @ £150 GBP.

At long last I have finished stacking and processing this one (I think). Captured with the dual rig of the Tak FS102 SC694 and the WO132 QSI. The WO Sx did the ha @7nm and the Tak qsi did the rest. If I get a chance I might redo the S11. Capture started at the Begining of Aug.

This is what we have had the last 2 days . There will be sunspots there but I can't quite make them out.

Neat

Its been nice to see a planet away from the horizon. It will also be higher for us NH types in a couple of years.

Very nice. It would not keep away from the clouds long enough for me today.

If you have colour filters try those and have a try at stacking them. I remeber doing this last time round and I'm sorry I can't remember the combination of the 2 filters that when stacked worked the best for me but wth the C11 it worked well.

Yes I was, it used to work fine but I am struggling with it this time around.That one was on the old PC and from 2016. I got the dongle last year and fiddled with it and could not get it to work so it went in a box. I am in the process of decorating and during the tidy round re- discovered the dongle (any excuse to avoid the D word) and this time I got it working but am struggling as it only giving a short "ping" , the sound is difficult to pick from the background mush and SL is not picking it up on the conditional actions.

Here is a good one I got from my old Yupiteru, the USB dongle is not so goods so far. Turn volume down first. Meteor20160802134859.wav
