Another early start, tried the C9.25 but the results were so poor they are not worth posting. A little better with the Evostar 120mm Evostar 120mm, asi174mm, Lunt wedge

A quick dinner session from work with the Evostar120mm Never easy from the back of the car, with only 30 minutes to set and capture. Pleased the "drift disc" stacked nicely and some decent details for images captured under the midday Sun! Evostar 120mm, asi174mm, Lunt wedge

I have been trying to catch the Sun as early as possible with the C9.25. unfortunately the only chance is at the weekends usually, hoping the seeing conditions are going better than later on. These images were captured around 7.30 UK time, some decent details but not as good as the first couple of times used the 200mm filter. Still feel like the conditions are only going to be good enough for this size filter on a handful of occasion each year.

I saw some very bright NLC's around 02.30 today, the first time i have seen any this year. Unfortunately low cloud was obscuring the vast majority of the display.

I am finding it much tougher to do this sort of thing these days, 56 years old certainly feels different to even 50 years for me 🙂

fine set of images

Great effort to get up at that time, good reward for your efforts Kon

nice set of planetary images

A fine Saturn and Jupiter, some nice details visible on both

That has got to be very depressing Neil, especially at 4 in the morning 😞

Lovely set of images.

Keep going i am sure you will strike gold eventually 🙂

very nice, lovely filaprom as well

Good to see some new activity coming around today

A fine set of images, love the two wavelengths in the same image again

Cracking set of Ca-K images

very nice

very nicely done

it is rather depressing to see the beautiful skies spoiled by those contrails

Very nicely captured and processed

Lovely view through the scope and the countryside

Well done for getting something out of the conditions

Always seems to be tougher once things start to heat up

Excellent capture, right time and place

I think you get a wider field of view maybe?
