Early shoot followed by late processing. Still, that early shoot allowed me to get some close-ups with the QHY5-too

First the full disk with the Canon 1100D

Then the close-ups with the same scope but using the QHY5-II mono

[David Smith]

Thanks all for your kind comments.

I had another play with the close-ups and found that the Big_AR (apologies for the technical description  ) scales and crops quite nicely.

Superb set David.

Lots of sunny spells but it was Beaufort Scale 8 up here. Small children are swept off their feet, Mrs DrRobin close to toppling and small solar telescopes seen blowing across the car park. In other words, far too windy to get any shots.
