Hi. I have a set of these!  From Luton, with my SP102m that i bought at the same time.  Love them.  Used them regularly with my f5 newt as well. For planetary they are hard to beat.

Why the green colour?

Solar Continueum filter.  It cuts down the CA of the refractor and helps contrast.  Having said that, you can see from the sky being green that this was through light cirrus.    

Thats a great image.  ive had thin cloud all day.  

i've not seen the comet yet.  work this week has been horrendous but in any case weve had cloud along the coast here in Scarbro’.   

ps youre drawings good! 

just a quick snap which should encourage folk to get out

taken on my usual 4” vixen just before it disappears behind the hedge on an iphone se3

Thats one of the first Solarscopes. They only started advertising them 3 month before i took the plunge and bought it

Sadly it rained here this morning and is now thick cloud n cold! (Scarborough).

Here you go my SP102M with a Solarscope50 piggybacked

With apologies for the washing behind! lol

very nice

OK  Ive had a play this evening.

Unsharp masked and curves

Lots more detail especially in the white than I thought!

PS Photos in Solar imaging section

Im going to upload these as is straight from my Cannon 450. White Light 4" Vixen with mylar filter and UVIR rejct, Ha Solarscope 50, with x2.5 Powermate and UVIR reject (so both 1m fl)

I seem to have lost the knack processing nthese at the mo (hence the raw jpgs), however I seem to have hit a sweet spot today on them, and the sky is deep blue and steady here in Scarborough.

Work my freind. This week 2 days home, and Cannock, Derby, and Tottenham court rdlondon.  First chance ive had to relax! 

Theres a huge sray prom on the southern limb of the Sun right now

Its been a long time (like nearly 2y) since ive done imaging, due to work however...

Please accept my offering.

4" Vixen White Light, 50mm Solarscope.

Ive processed the Ha (sort of) to bring out the prominences

Great images

wow

Given the low altitude you did well

Nice.  i awoke at 7 and it was clear buts its gone bright cloudy now.  

Ive got milky blue sky. That would probably be about the best i could get. And theres a slight fret too.
