Spent a bit of time on visual this morning as the seeing was pretty good with quite a few blue patches then started imaging but the clouds arrived so didn't get much.

One day we'll get a blue sky all day and I'll do a full disc mosaic if I can remember how to do it

A blue sky all day ... that would be wonderful. A full disk mosaic at this level of detail would be a great treat!

Beauriful work. Thanks.

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Trouble was it disappeared just as I was about to image the interesting new bit on the east rim.

Dave if I am honest these have to be your best images yet, period.

You have got that set up singing all the right notes now & quite literally, the sky is the limit.

Great work mate well done !!!

[Iainp]

Superb! The second one (inverted filament) is particularly jaw-dropping.

Thanks all, the thing it had going for it today was the pretty good seeing so nothing to do with me

Those are wonderful images Dave, fantastic detail. You say you want a blue sky all day you say Dave, blimey, that's a bit ambitious isn't it!?   I can remember the last day I had a wall to wall blue day, as fortune would have it, it was on the day of the Mercury transit in on May 9th !

Last day of all blue was so long ago I can't even remember it

These are stunning. 

 

Do you have a full sized ERF or modded an internal one?

[laudropb]

Very nice set indeed Dave.

[cshahar]

AMAZING!!! Just lovely Dave! Top notch in fact. I particularly like the 3-dimensional effect of the filaments.

Super set Dave. I had a list of stuff I wanted to do if we had a clear days sun. Problem is its been so long I'very forgotten most of it!

Using Quark chromo, and Tecnosky 152mm PGBFly camera and Baader 35nm internal filter, I'd like a front mounted ERF but it's about £1000.00

[Tyson M]

Oh, never heard of it being done that way.

 I didn't know just the Ha filter was enough with the quark. 

 

 

[Tyson M]

I'd thought maybe you had an internally mounted, smaller ERF. 

 

Cool.

Superbly dynamic looking close ups!

[cshahar]

Dave, i am also finding the front mounted ERFs to be crazy expensive. I am trying to find a full-sized one for my 8-inch and the price is shocking!
