First light Ha

First light with a lovely Lunt 35 THa. I set up my old Vixen 90 with a white light filter to compare. Just blown away with views. The amount of detail was stunning, starting off with the whole disc with a 23mm Panaview. I found my optimum sweetspot using an 8.8mm Meade UWA , giving x45. The speed that proms changed is amazing, a few floated free. The amount of activity was astounding , returning to the views over the course of an afternoon gave superb results.

It's very addictive and absorbing , especially with a cold beer supply nearby !IMG_4949.thumb.JPG.56f02ba2f5703631901410ba1ac766b5.JPGIMG_4959.thumb.JPG.ed12d42c915266b232af948ab8f37671.JPG

Nice first light report Nick, love the sketches.

The only trouble with clear sunny days is they're often followed by clear nights which gets a bit knackering especially if we get two in a row :grin:

Excellent, Nick. I had my Lunt 50Ha out today with my Evo 150 and Baader Wedge on the other side of the Ercole. It's the most action I have seen around and on the disk for a long time so a good day to get your first light :smile:
