      I saw two the night after but dozed off towards the end. Things have gone pretty good with the move, messy but good. Looks like cloud and downpours though this weekend.

      Well, 1 Perseid and that was all, nothing on camera I think either.

      If I can survive dinner and not fall asleep after I will for a little bit at least. I have just unpacked a lot of my astro stuff too so hopefully I can get back to solar this week. I have missed that.

      Thanks Jules, glad you have settled in now. It's a bit chaotic at the moment here but I think we are on track. Not panicking just yet.

      Cheers guys! That is true Gutross, I actually think the LP may be a bit better there. Time will tell.

      Rob, No way would I kill it. I love snakes but after growing up in Oz I have loads of respect for them. It disappeared somewhere when I got close so I think it has a way out. Hopefully it comes back and I can get a picky an ID it.

      Not had much chance to enjoy the weather yet, must relax a bit more I think. Hopefully the pool is warm enough now.

      Thanks, I had forgotten I had submitted that one. Nice start to the day at least.

  11. Have packed most of the solar gear away, rain has suspended play. I wouldn't bother with such small, fast-moving gaps but the seeing looks decent, the gaps are a beautiful blue and the big AR was smoking away. ! Hope some others are sneaking a view or shot in.

      I was late getting started and we had things to do and now it's too hot and windy to justify setting up. :(

  12. 1st proper day of the year :-) 37ºC, so went to the beach. Took the sun scope and had a wee session. Very pleasant.

      A couple more weeks of this and the pool will be warm enough for a swim. :) Good to hear you are enjoying the nice weather Rob.

  13. Aargh, windows update decided to happen just as I was setting my scope up, took 45 minutes. Then firecapture didn't want to work and now clouds. :(

      Hope you can sort it out soon, sorry I can't be of much help.

      To be honest Ant I didn't do anything, firecapture would read the camera but wasn't running it so I turned it all off and when I started again in the evening it was all fine. I still don't know what was the problem but a restart fixed it for me.

  15. Wowsers, well I have to see how it stacks and processes, but I have just taken some full disc single tile captures with the Quark and my Tele Vue 60. All the talk of the Quark and its 4.3x Barlow and I am imaging not too far from my SolarMax 60 at prime focus! I need to see what the results are like, but I am so surprised to be seeing a full disc in the capture software! :-o

      ooh, curious to see the results Luke. Will be interesting.

      Nearly found the hammer after FC decided not to work but all is safe and sound. I need to do what David does and change my settings, I still haven't put an antivirus on the laptop, I just use it purely for captures.

  17. Looks like my solar imaging streak will be broken today :( 14 consecutive days!

    1. JB80

      JB80

      Thin I need to move a bit further north, I'd be happy for 2 consecutive days at the moment.

      I took a break too, yesterday I could of and today was cloudyish from lunch but it was better to just slow down and spend time with the family and a good book. It's the first weekend the weather has been warm too for ages which helps.

  20. Been a big solar afternoon and now time for a quick lunar session and on to Jupiter before a well earned lay down and drink. Possibly some food too.

      Hard life aint it. :D At one point they were saying tomorrow was going to be 31°c here but that has been revised to a brisk 26° now.

      Ta Luke! Well it cleared up here a bit this morning after some rain, I got a mosaic in but we will see if that turns out. Hopefully after next week when it clears up we will be back at the lovely spring temps getting a tan again.
