Had some nice blue skies this morning but wind was making imaging difficult.

Quark chromo, Tecnosky152mm PGBFly .5f/r

[gnomus]

Nice ARs!!!

[JemC]

A stunning set of images in spite of the conditions

[Pete Presland]

A lovely swirling mass of plasma!

[philj]

Now those are excellent images Dave, those quarks really deliver

[xtreemchaos]

cracking shots Dave, loads of dynamic action mate, your really putting the 152 through its paces. well done on a windy day.thanks charl. ps you need to update your sig.

[Stargazer33]

Superb level of detail Dave!

[David Smith]

Crikey Dave, those are quite stunning. Almost like you are floating just above the AR. That big scope of yours is really paying off.

[Stu]

Very nice Dave! Having looked through Derek's 152 at SGL11, these scopes clearly do the business!! Lovely stuff.

[johnfosteruk]

Lovely images Dave. 

[Drop Of Sun]

Very nice! Oh, you are using 152mm of aperture? Is that with a Baader 35nm h-a filter as ERF? 6 inch frac sounds nice, is it a heavy beast?

[laudropb]

Very nice set of images.

[Macavity]

So reminiscent (for obvious reasons) of:

But still a remarkable sight to see!

Hi Luke, using the Baader 35nm ATM still saving for the front mounted ERF, It is pretty heavy to lift up onto the mount, just about manageable with the built in handle, leaving it permanently mounted in the garden for the "summer"

Lovely detail images

[Drop Of Sun]

Nice!

I tried a 35nm h-a with my 120mm scope but it didn't work, it gave a white light-like view! But that was with my Quark that later went duff (giving a white light-like view...) so I wonder if it already had some kind of fault. I should have tried the 35nm with another Quark! Strange, that Quark at the time was fine as soon as I swapped back to UV/IR cut.

Are ye not tempted to stick with the cheapo 35nm?

Quark images look much the same through the 100mm refractor with IR/UV filter as the 152mm and 35nm HA just better detail in the 152.

What, and die with money in the bank ?

^^Thankfully I am immune to the above. I am quite certian. Most definitely!

I've been resisting getting a Ca-K module but it's on my list
