      Unfortunately that means my better half will insist on having the heating on in our house. Best break out the shorts and T shirts again then.

    At leasts relatively quite at the moment. Looking forward to see the results of the focuser and what if any difference it makes to the isseus regarding imaging.
  3. Pete Presland

      those noctilucent clouds really are something to behold if you get a chance to see them.

      The green flash that is sometimes associated with a rising or setting sun. It makes a lovely bright green flash.

    1. Knight of Clear Skies

      Knight of Clear Skies

      Sorry to hear that, good luck with recovering the files.

      bought a SATA USB adapter, it allows you to acces your old hard drive like its an external hard drive so hopefully should be ok.

  19. Pete Presland

    looks like solar imaging is to be taking a back seat for a while

      I know, I keep telling him to just say 'NO!' Will he listen? Tsk.....

      (Looking good tho innit? )

    more info needed about your capture settings. are you using the full 1280x960 format or ROI format, what exposure time?
  23. Pete Presland
    its been a while since i used firecapture, but i think the USB traffic setting has been there for a while, it is certainly on my older version. i normally have mine set around 55-60% high enough to allow a good frame rate, not too high to start dropping frames. 13 fps is pretty slow, what are you imaging?
  24. Pete Presland

    YES! its proper clear tonight!

    1. David Smith

      David Smith

      Looked clear here last night but as soon as I got the scope out the haze came down.

  25. Pete Presland

    so much for the aurora?

      i did exactly the same, my images confirm this!

    3. Ant

      It's also a possibility for tonight (and might even be clear).

      Last night Aurora was seen well into Norfolk (according to bbc this morning).

      i did see a image of aurora off the norfolk coast
