total cloud here in south wales, but pigs do fly, and i got 1 frame "i didnt stax it ", im just waiting for a Quark to arrive, so passing the time sat at the rig willing sol to appear, but it didnt break cloud so turn up the iso and took a few shots and ended up with the one usable shot just for the record. iso 400, 2sec shot. same kit as allways. thanks for looking, and hope you all have better skys than me.  charl.

That's fantastic charl.  It's especially good that you have one to check out first.  I have lots of notes somewhere from when I had my Quark(s), so if I can help in any way I will.  Having said that I'm sure you'll manage very well with it.  Also of course there's lots of helpful folks on this forum with plenty of experience with Quarks.

A well caught opportunity Charl, still nowt but clouds here, clearing tomorrow but I'm working 12 hour days till the weekend now

Can't wait to see how you get on with the Quark mate.

[Floater]

Well caught, charl.

We had another good day today - the past couple of weeks have gone some way to make up for the really awful skies we had for months earlier this year - and I got some good views in Ha. Those spots are impressive and the two massive filaments are a wonderful sight to behold.

Looking forward to reading about how you get on with the Quark. Hope it goes well. ??

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Paul, yer its really cool that i can try before i buy mate, it takes away a lot of worry from buying a Quark.  clear skys charl.
