Solar PST & QHY-III-585C 1st light April 2nd

[Space Cowboy]

Fired up the Coronado PST for the first time in about 7 years with my new QHY-III-585C cam. No need to mosaic anymore for a full disk with the larger chip.

Thanks Neil. Think I got about 80% of the disk on the old qhy5ll chip. If the tracking is off and it's on a alt/az mount and there are thin clouds about then mosaics are a pane (pardon the pun) 😉

Thanks Kostas. I've got lunar to post up too with this cam. Did try Venus UV but not quite so hot though seeing was bad.
