  1. hi all i got a bit of imaging done thismorrning thanks to Alan for giving me a push 😀. seeings not great here but got better as time passed. im a bit rusty on the processing but its slowly coming back. a very nice AR if you get the chance to view. thanks for looking. clear skys charl. large. ed80. 800x800 ed80
  2. great shots Steve, i really need to pull my finger out and get some imaging done but my get up and go has got up and gone just of late mate. well done. charl.
  3. no mate its sometimes much better through the EP apart from not being able to see the proms as well but on very good seeing and with a spot with some flaring theres nothing better in my view. charl
  4. i use a basic colour cam asi120mc i like to work with colour cam even when they end up mono "why" just because thats what i cut me teeth on. you could use a 50% reducer on the sensor end "after the quark" to get a larger image. cheap reducers work just fine. lovely image very close to what i see through the EP on really good seeing days. well done. charl.
  5. great mosaic and shots Pete. thanks , charl.
  6. i think your there with your tuning mate, maybe drop your expo on you cam and try a bit of gain it will bring a bit more fine detail to the frame and in turm make processing better. wish my first captures was as good it took me the best part of a year to dial in images like that. charl.
  7. hope you dont mind but i could not resist giving your image a stretch. i think i can say you have a very good quark there which is going to show you some wonderful things. well done mate. charl.
  8. great shots mate well done, ive just been having a look this morrning and theres a nice size spot near the mid oncoming limb looks like it could be flaring near. charl.
  9. no never trust a weather man/lady or app. great pics mate.
  10. theres a old saying "ya as only as old as the telescope you use" well its not a old saying and i just thought of it but you get my drift eh. Astronomy can be as easy on the body as we want to make it, i do 99% of mine through a s/w facing open window sat in a comfy chair., its about as easy as one can get . happy new year . charl.
  11. Happy clear New Year All.:blob9:

  13. thanks Stu, much the same here mate like 70% cloud mixed in. sol was promless apart from 2 small wispy ones on the bottom of the disc not that i got time to catch them with the cloud. clear skys. charl.
  14. good day all. i just caught this before clouds rolled in, im off to watch the F1 now so im done imaging for the day. kit starwave 102, quark, asi120mc. thanks for looking, clear skys. charl.
  15. thanks Clifff, your very kind. wind dont bother me too much from shooting indoors unless its coming straight through the open window. clear skys. charl.
  16. thanks luke, yes mate we need those cloud guns for sure. today is like a 100% cloud, dark and horrid. hope you have better skys. charl.
  17. thanks Rusty, yes its a very good up and down hobby "more like sport when imaging" but i see it as a bit of a + addiction i get down a bit over them sunless days but when a good day comes along it morethan makes up for it " wink". charl.
  18. thanks Geoff, you are morethan kind mate. yes this years been bad and last year was near the same with just a few days a month, 2019 was my best year with 247 days where i got pics and 211 in 2018. im hoping it pick up this winter with some nice frosty mornings i tend to get my best shots when the frost is about. hope your weather improves. charl.
  19. The last two morrnings ive got up and tryed to catch this AR and as soon as id power the rigg up the cloud had invaded, it did the same today but i just managed to get enough vid for a image. kit starwave 102 f11, quark, asi120mc. ta for looking. clear skys. charl. AR2882. not the best but im glad its not a merry go round with out getting on 😀.
  20. great shots Pete, i had terrible seeing today mate. charl.
  21. thanks Alan. no ERF on the objective but 2in one on the wedge this is ok upto 120mm scopes some have used this all so on 150mm but i think that 150mm is pushing ones luck. clear skys . charl.
  22. thanks Steve your very kind. there was other proms mate but i give up with the seeing getting worse by the minute, i took the prom shot first which im quite happy with but i could not see the spots on the ARs on the live view they showed when staxed thankfully. clear skys. charl.
