Sol 21-3-17 WL,HA and proms

[xtreemchaos]

well got a few gaps thismorrning but the seeing is terrible, not a lot happening in WL so just a single frame, HA detail is very hard to catch with sol fazing in and out, did catch a filament but not very good shots, caught a nice few proms so over all I'm quite happy just to see sol.

thanks for looking, clear skys and I hope you have better seeing than me.  charl.

Whats your magnification on the proms? Man youre right up in there.

[Davey-T]

Good stuff Charl, it looked promising here early on but by the time I got my rear in gear the clouds arrived so had to do housework

thanks Tony, ill give you the specs so you can work it out, ed80 at f7.5 Quark with built in 2.5x barlow , 2x reducer screwed into asi120mc frame size for proms 800x800, goodluck, it makes my brain hurt to work it out. charl.

thanks Dave, I got up early "7pm" because I knew the clouds where coming, by 09.30 it was 100% and its raining at the moment. hope it clears for you, the only good thing about having bad knees is it gets me out of the house work . charl.

Cool! so your quark has a 2.5x barlow and not a 4x? Do you use an ERF? I had an ATM 5 a long time ago. I remember I loved it and I remember always wishing I could put it on a small scope. I used it on an 11" celestron. I had Del W make me an ERF for a little meade 4" SCT was the c5 copy. It had like a 1" aperature. I just couldnt use it after the 11" views. I never took pics through it. I used it on a 7" meade mak also which was just as good if not better visual. Was close to chosing Daystar again not to say I wont add one later. The lunt 60 was what I always wanted. Small. Full disk.

[xtreemchaos]

na your right 4x barlow in the Quark, I put 2 instead of 4 by mistake, I was up early, yer I have a 2inch badder ERF in my wedge, I don't really need it with the ed80 but it saves my Quark and wedge getting warm, I like the lunts too, its nice to beable to get a full disc, ive yet to try a mosaic with the Quark.   charl. ps nice looking scope there.

I'm stuck with my knees Dave, thay wont operate with me having lupus thay say there too much of a chance of me getting a infection and thay wouldn't be able to treat it  charl.

[Macavity]

Very nice, Charl... Whatever the seeing, one begins to see the
"feathers" in the surface images? The prominences were a tad
fainter today? At least that's my excuse...  

 

[johnfosteruk]

Lovely images Charl.

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Chris, thay allways look like tormented souls when the seeing good, to me, think its beacause I used to airbrush custom motorbikes and flames seamed to look like that when id finished. clear skys, charl.

 

[xtreemchaos]

thanks John, clear skys, charl.

[laudropb]

Very nice set Charl. Snowed here on and off most of the day.

[Pete Presland]

Cracking set of images.

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

[xtreemchaos]
