Sol 12 Jul - WL (various) + HA

[Macavity]

Began as a splendid day then I ran out of disk
space and promptly deleted the (wrong) files! 

So began a repeat effort from 2-4 p.m. I got to
the end and my poor little ASI120MM died?!? 

Good day otherwise! lol  The seeing notable?
So here's a sample of the "reruns" anyway...

Altair ED66 (Solar Cont. Filter):

Solar Cont. 3X Barlow:

Baader DS CaK filter:

Lunt 50 HA Disks + Proms:

2x Barlowed Quadrant:

Memorable day for all the wrong reasons, good to salvage something.

Very nicely captured, despite the problems. 

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Very nice collection

Thanks guys! Gives me hope that there is better seeing,
and maybe even Sunspots during the next few years?  

I deleted some of the "bells & whistles" data but have
enough data to play with, ideas to improve technique. 
Notably, think TWICE before you delete stuff! lol

great shots Chris, its a mighty fine AR mate, well done. clouds stopped play for me today "thurs" hope you have clear ,charl.

HA! (No pun). But HAH, my ZWO ASI120MM is not dead after all?
I hate to wrongly(?) accuse hardware of not working or dying!

My "Data Acquistion" Samsung NC10 notebook continues to work
with the ASI120MC and DMK41 via FireCapture... but not the MM.
If I load the ZWO drivers to a desktop machine both Cams work!

I sense some of this is down to "old age" of computers (mine)?
Fair's fair to ZWO - They make nice (and probably!) reliable cams.

My ASI120MM checks out OK! So... "Possible computer error"?

Nicely done. Deleting your own captures by mistake, been there, done that!

Glad to hear your ASI120 lives!

[David Smith]

Nice set Chris.
