Nice, took a couple prom vid's but not sure if they will stack, seeing was poor and wind flapping the scope around.

Dave

Thanks Dave.

Seeing was abit choppy here.

Neat shots.

Good selection Charl.

Scope is out, head under the cover, cricket on TMS just about tuned in focus between clouds.

Not sure head under cover to shield eyes or because of cricket.

Thanks folks.

Nice discs Steve, did you do anything to reduce the NRs from previous day or did it just "happen" ?

Dave

I tweaked the tilter again and this time it worked.

Lunt 60mm D/S

Bit better on the NR's

click a couple of times for full res.

The shiy bits more than likey produced the arcs in your image.

The t adaptors can vary in length esp the cheap ones have you any very thin spacers to slighty increase the distance and see if that makes a difference.

Apart from that I am out of ideas.

As a test can you rotate

just the camera

camera and flattener.

I had to flock a very shiny extension tube many years ago that caused problems.

Good collection Charl.

You were not kidding about the proms.

Is it me or has that AR calmed down a bit?

great shots Steve, theres quite a few proms today mate if you get chance, seeings good here today. charl.

Thanks Charl.

I'm off out again in a bit hope to get a look later.

The sun is out,its windy and very milky maybe later.

Nice one Charl.

a spot, a spot, a spot.

I think no matter what we do at the moment in Uk type latitudes we are going to have to accept poor Jupiter and Saturn images until they gain a decent alitude.

Making sure the kit has cooled, collimation, focus, ADC and seeing are all good things to check but until we are not looking thorough the bulk of our atmossphere we will have to tough it out.

I have given up with Jupiter and Saturn for this year now as they are very close to my garage if not in it .

That does not mean ther will be no more images unleashed on the poor unsuspecting viewers of this forum as there is a load of data I have not stacked yet - you have been warned.

Or go south.
