Sun HA 5th April (Disks + Proms)

[Macavity]

Notice today was forecast to be Sunny... Didn't start well!
First DROPPED (Frankenscope) ED80 --- mostly on Carpet? 
Then "lost" Barlow Lens for about an hour (Had left it outside)!  
Despite the late start, managed to mostly beat eventual (high) clouds.

All "Combined" Disks + Proms, but BOTH from one "Disk" video (via ImPPG!).

Full Disk via standard Lunt50:

Rest via the ED80/Lunt50 Frankenscope... 2x Barlow... Giving f=1200mm approx. 

The "Central Thing" (whatever it is!): 



The Brighter Proms:



The Fainter Proms:

Happier Now! But, like ALL of my scopes the "pure" ED80 has now joined the ranks 
of ALL the rest -- Variously "sullied" in some way! lol. But it still works? (I Think?!?)

That's a good days work Chris, no hope here as neighbours are having their patio dug up, been like an earthquake all day

Heheh. I can relate? Neighbour is engaged in constant revamp of back garden. 
Somehow I "agreed" to share costs of a new fence?!? He "staked his claim" by
immediately digging some post-holes... Slightly further onto my side of course!
Everything (holes) now full water... They're on holiday for 4 weeks! Ah well.

They're OK tho. I have built a long list of "favours" I may someday redeem.

great shots chris, lovely detail mate, its been a cracking day today dare we hope spring has arrived ?. thanks, charl.

[Macavity]

Thanks, Charl. A lovely day for a walk too. (I get around to LIFE sometimes. lol).
What's this I see, STORMS on the horizon? Flood warnings? Thing upon things!  
I think we might be safer in the "West"... for a change! But "Sunny Skies, to ya.

Interesting Jet-Stream activity folks? I do notice, at "higher magnifications" the 
image can pop in and out of focus quite significantly! Now picking from multiple
(short) videos... for the best "quality"?!?!? "So many settings... So little time"! 

[Lowjiber]

Outstanding work, Chris.  I'm loving the details.

Thanks much for the shares.

Lovely set of images.

Wiggle... wiggle... wiggle...  AS!2 automatic sharpening and
rough brightness balance. Need to learn how properly, but...
