Owmuchonomy Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Very nice spot detail. As you say, seeing is very steady today even here. I have taken frames to have a go at a mosaic. I have never tried one before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewan Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 emojithon for you Charl, you have certainly got the WL captures nailed to the door mate, next stop for you I think is a Quark. I am telling you Charl with the quality images you are putting up in WL.................well let's just say a Quark in your arsenal will give you a Solar kit you will tame in no time. On a side note, all this weather is great but I have 100's of Gb of data to get through so getting it up here may take a while. All is good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ward Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Lovely set sir ... Dreadful wibbly-wobbly here today so never bothered pressing the shutter , that added to me being out under his relentless glare since 07:00 meant no session for me , will have a peek early doors tomorrow though ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtreemchaos Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 thanks Ewan, ive been looking at the Quark Chromosphere for a few weeks and putting a list together, think im going to have to get a new ccd aswell like a PG BFLY or simler, but ive wont beable to buy untill the end of the year "unless a 2hand one pops up" ive got too many bills to pay first. thanks for your kind words,clear skys charl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewan Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Charl don't make a mistake & rush to buy mate, worth saving the extra & getting what you want, not what you can afford at the time. The PG imx174 I use is astounding (now I have the hang of it lol), I use an i3 lappy but put a 1TB Samsung SSD in it just to keep up with the PG, i am terrible at buying stuff for my hobbies but i felt i needed to move up from the DMK 618. Like you, i made a list, then took weeks to decide & a lot of images viewed later i ended up where i am. What ever you choose i am sure you will enjoy the 'upgrade' but don't change whatever you are doing now mate............it's just so right. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
