Incredible something so small can be captured from Earth, at such a distance.

Love seeing the dynamic Solar system in action, particularly the Planetary Moon systems.

Superb early season capture, plenty to see there.

very nice.

Nicely done Neil, as others have said its going to get much better in the coming months.

Looking good particularly the Saturn capture.

They have come out very well.

Very nicely captured, some decent details visible there.

very nice display, yet to see them this year myself. The last couple of days have felt like October, rather than June!

Hi welcome to SGL from Pete in Bedfordshire 🙂 The use of the word "edge" seems missleading to me as well, i dont think we will ever know for definite how what we can was formed.

Hi welcome to SGL from Pete in Bedfordshire 🙂

Simply when you can not afford to buy it. I had around a dozen Televue Plossl's a few years back ranging from 8mm to 40mm. I now own just 4 proper observating eyepieces and an all rounder zoom for Solar imaging (locating). The eyepieces are 35 Panoptic, 22mm Nagler, 13mm Ethos and 8mm Ethos. I would highly recommend all 4, they are expensive, particularly the Ethos. I am sure there are many other eyepices that would do pretty much the same job, these were all purchased 2nd hand at a price i thought i could justify. That is probably the answer to the question, if there is one, how much can you justify spending? I certainly would not recommend buying a set personally, pick and choose the best ones to suit your scope and interests.

Just looking on https://in-the-sky.org/ and the situation looks a bit better by the middle of July, even better by August for myself. I did think a month or so back that the conifers were going to get a trim, but not happened yet 🙂

Yes, very tempted. Unfortunately i have a huge row of conifers just down the street that blocks the South/south-East view. My window is almost directly South, just pased the meridian. I could catch them from a bedroom window, but i am guessing the imaging quality would be dreaful. Enjoying seeing your images again Neil, its good to hear you are enjoying yourself in the wee hours, definitely the best time of the day!

All things consider, still a good end result Neil.

Very nice, even better now with the colour alignment

lovely sharp images

Very nicely captured
