They are fantastic bits of kit Charl and when conditions are suitable they can take some pretty high magnification .... Roll on summer

Just grabbed a few frames at lunch.  Are there some very faint "ellerman bombs"near the large proms? I am probably well off the mark though

[xtreemchaos]

yer agreed mate, hope to use mine without the reducer when the seeing right and with the big frac, at 9.5 I might be pushing me look. charl

I've been very tempted by HA but the money has always gone on the house/hols/vets etc.

I spent years projecting with bins and then bought a white light filter for the scope which added a new dimension. Views of had through other peoples HA set ups have been as jaw dropping as anything I've seen through a scope. Living with very bad light pollution makes solar system  observing the best thing to do from home too.

thanks Bish, its taken me a while to get a Quark mate, but there well worth the money, the best bit I think with HA is theres allways something going ,but ill allways have a softspot for whitelight ,I get my WL shots first while the Quarks warming up. clear skys, charl.
