Lovely. This may well be my favourite galaxy, the one-armed spiral.

It may look a bit blue-heavy on my monitor but, hey-ho, it's lovely.

Thanks Olly.

That might change in the next process as I am trying to get some Ha to add to it.

Edit

There is not much Ha so I may abandon that idea.

Amazing! that chunk of sun went off and didn't fall back! would that be a CME?

Yes I think it could be termed a CME.

On space weather they called it a solar torando.

A SOLAR TORNADO JUST LAUNCHED INTO SPACE: A solar tornado was spinning around the sun's north pole yesterday when, suddenly, it lifted off. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the launch:

Unlike tornadoes on Earth, which are shaped by wind, tornadoes on the sun are controlled by magnetism. Solar magnetic fields twist in a furious spiral, dragging clouds of plasma around with them. This particular tornado over-twisted, pinched off, and flew straight away from the sun. The debris will not hit Earth.

SDO data shows it well,I like this one

do you need a tilt adapter?

Not for single stack but yes for double stack.

I like the 178 for my setup but it is tight to get full disc.

To get 60fps with my pc I have a PCIe drive, with ROI I can get well over 100fps when doing planets.

The Lunt 60 has a coonado Rich Field tuner on the front for the d/s.

And sometimes silliness comes and the daystar quark gets in the mix as well.

Thank you for the kind words.

he C11 was out for a go at Venus (which was not that successful) and M B was shining brightly so...

Do the clicky dance for full res.

Nice, hope its not as long next time.
