DRT Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I've just been out with the Lunt 50 and Baader Wedge and there is some lovely action going on through both. It is nice to see more white light detail emerging after the drought we have had recently and there are to magnificent and bright proms currently at the top of the disk in Ha with lots of nice detail around the sunspot cluster in that region of the disk. I'm off out for the morning but hopefully a good afternoon with the Quark will be waiting for me when I return 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Nice one Derek The sky certainly is fantastic today and the sun has certainly come out to play..... Like you said there is certainly lots of action going on both the surface and around the limb but there seems to be several more prominences today compared to yesterday. Well I guess I had best go to the shop and get some refreshments ready for a full days solar Edited August 6, 2016 by Pig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshane Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Agreed! First sketches for a while. Away in the caravan using the 60mm pst mod / Lunt wedge at 54x. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Very nice Shane. Looks like the 60mm is working well as a portable setup? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshane Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Definitely mate. Really happy with it. With a 50mm extension tube and the helical focuser I can also use it for lunt wedge and night time too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
