First Ha full disc pic with the PST

[Montana]

On Monday I was able to capture enough images to create a full disc with the DS PST. I've never been able to do this before but with excellent tuition from Mark Townley I have managed to put this together and I am very pleased. I do have a little problem with the flats making my images blotchy but the newton's rings are nearly all gone. Still plenty of work to do but I am getting there It is an 8 frame mosaic, I used a 2x barlow and DMK41.

PS and the bulge at the top (11oclock), well 3 hrs later it exploded, I was clouded out by then

Great stuff Alexandra! It looks like you captured this at roughly the same time I did mine - everything looks very similar.
