Loving HA solar observing with my Tal based 100mm PST2 mod.
-
One out, one in. I have sold a scope (130mm Newt) to buy another one (80mm f11 frac) for solar use. Must be losing my grip - FRACS????
-
Back on the giro.....just bought a Giro and pillar mount. Really glad to have this set up again.
-
I'm becoming a bit of a solar addict. I can give it up any time though.

We've got to Jupiter season again. Last night was superb. Often I am unable to bring myself to look at anything else when Jupiter is prominent.

as hinted at by Mike above, I use full aperture when possible on all three scopes. often with the 16" though the view is better masked off to 170mm. if I can use full aperture though I do. that certainly allows for more moons to be detected with e.g. Saturn. also the detail when the seeing pops is just staggering.

I am all Lovejoyed up having seen this comet for the first time this morning. Missed Ison but maybe another time or hopefully after the sun visit.

I have reverse aperture fever. I have a 16" f4 dob and bought a 12" f4 dob and have now bought a 4.5" f4.3 newtonian and am loving it. I still have the others but the little guy is so dinky.

Finally managed to detect M74 last night. It's tricky from home but found it!
-
Well, my new scope is ready and I'm hoping for some clear skies!
-
Made a dob base for my 12" f4 yesterday. Just need to fit the bearing surfaces and the finish and I can finally use the thing!

Gut still aching from Thursday's hernia op but on the mend. Good for long term picking up of the 16"!
