Yes, forgot the Herschel Wedge would flip the image! Not too stressed about which way is up in space
-
Also did some close-ups.

I captured the Sun in white light with my 90 mm frac today and ASI120MM. 3x drizzled. Really enjoying imaging the Sun in white light, the results seem to come out really sharp and detailed.

Gotta try tomorrow with my 90 mm frac instead of the 66…

Nothing here, but I did see a bright shooting star and an ISS transit.

I had a look at this big spot today in white light and Ha, but I think white light won. Today I was ready with all the astro software reinstalled on my fixed (?) laptop, so I took some shots with the ASI120MM, which did a rather good job I think. This is drizzled 3x, seems to work! The Ha shots were garbage with loads of Newton rings.

I'll be over the Moon at the slightest sign of any show at all -

Of all the nights I could have picked to go to bed early... -
Hi I just tried my ASI120MM with my Solar Scout and I have got a bad case of Newton rings. Is there a fix for this (googling this suggests " getting a different camera" works great)?
-
Also, I am just using the stock focusser manually. I'm finding focus not too hard with an AsiAir.
-
I use the reducer I have - an SCT f6.3 reducer. It seems to work OK... I just got the RC, it's been great on the little targets (and there's a lot of them ).

This is taken over two nights so far with my RC6 (reduced to 924mm focal length) and ASI485MC. 180 60-second exposures, processed in GraXpert, Siril, starnet and Gimp. I would have used Astrosharp too, but having trouble getting the tool to run on my (supposedly) repaired laptop, so I just did a default sharpen in Gimp. C&C welcome!

Had a look with ZS66, Herschel Wedge and Svbony 3-8. Lovely sharp views of the giant group, which rather reminded me of an eighties Paisley pattern.

I hear you. As a precaution I take the dust cap off and shine a torch down the tube once a month.

Also, my FMA135 says "I'm ALWAYS the guidescope. I don't wanna be the guide scope!"
-
Every clear night they're all shouting "Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!"

Six free bottles of liquid helium with every new ASI 9900 MC Supercool?

I usually find more is more...

Epsilon 130!

ZWO filter drawer and spare slider. The photo also features my new elasticated filter securing device, I Don't Trust That Magnet (TM), available for only $99.99 from any reputable astro retailer.

Keeping on trying...

Still playing....

Drift unfortunately is not random, so it results in walking noise. Dither is random, so it reduces noise overall.

So much information there! Many thanks @WolfieGlos!
