Evening Folks

I managed to capture a couple of Solar shots today. The session wasn't very long due to clouds but I was just happy to get some images.

Thanks for looking

Hi Steve,

The LS60 is a great piece of kit, I get blown away everytime I use it and the live views are fantastic. I tried to imge using my DFK21 today, I'll have to try and add it to this post so you can see.

Really stunning views that seem alive. That double stack of yours is working well, now it is fixed.

Nice to get a few pics today, it clouded over here by early afternoon and I was out sailing at lunch time, so no images from me today.

Thanks Robin, I managed about an hour before getting clouded out but it was worth it. I'm really pleased to get the double stack sorted, it seems to make a difference

Here's an avi taken using my DFK21 which I usually use for planetary. I think it's best feature is for showing live images but haven't even tried to process anything from it.

If you can, up the setting to 480 before viewing as it shows more, there may be a little suprise at the end too!

that is absolutly stunning, that has to be one of the best solar images i think i have seen

[KE400]

Thanks Keiran, I'm pleased you like it

Looks like a seagull to me? I have seen my fair share of them , but mostly when not recording. On deep sky stuff I have now been lucky/unlucky to capture two meteorites oh the hazards of time exposures.

I must admit I bought a Lunt 60 after seeing your pictures, now I fancy a double stack too.

[KE400]

You're right on the blummin seagull Robin haha, the perks of living on the coast

The double stack option is a nice addition and if you decided to go for it I don't think you would regret it but it's horses for courses really. I think you are smashing some great images out the park already IMHO
