White light bucket - 02/09/2013

[Luke]

The four sunspot groups at this time reminded me of the bucket of stars in the constellation of Hercules. Or maybe I'm just missing DSO observing since a long break over summer

Onyx 80mm / Baader Herschel Wedge / Grasshopper 3 (ICX687)

[Steve Ward]

Lovely work Luke ...

[David Smith]

Those are great Luke, that wedge certainly seems to increase the detail levels.

[Luke]

Thanks, guys

Phew, I very nearly dropped the wedge today, complete with attached webcam, onto our patio

I was taking the wedge out while Sarah was looking on having just imaged and I do not think she will wish to see a repeat of my one-handed juggling act. That will teach me not to try and hold onto and undo a couple of bits of gear at the same time... !

Lovely picture Luke, very crisp :-)

Glad the reflexes were up to the job and no damage done.

The Mrs was cracking the whip and kindly 'allowing me to help clean the house' today so no chance to get out!! Maybe tomorrow if clear

Very nice
