Re: PST tuning ring issue
Welcome to the forum, will the screw thread back in? If not, just use a larger screw that will thread back in. It just needs to locate in one of the holes in the black ring you can see. When you have done this you can tune the scope, when it comes on band, all good, if it won't come on band locate t...

Re: Solar Images from 15th April 2024
Very nice CaK there Ella! Which Bresser scope are you using here? Hi Mark, just the cheapie bresser achromatic 100mm f10 stopped down to 80mm. For full disks and proms try stopping down to 60mm, you're not going to lose any resolution but you will get a bit more contrast, especially with the proms.

I love the 183mm for full disks, it is perfect up to around 800mm focal length.

Re: CaK Full Disk 16th Aoril
I’m not sure how much further tweaking you could do, but I’m sure you’ll eventually squeeze out every last drop of capability from your setup. :D Thanks Stu, it's an iterative (obsessive?) approach. I have 6 different individual CaK filters, so, it has been some time to find the right combination a...

I was able to bunk off work a bit earlier on Tuesday, and, there was a blue sky (in places!) too, so, with more tweaks on the homebrew CaK filter I went for a full disk. Seeig was barely supporting the 40mm aperture used, but transparency was good, so i;ll take the latter as a bonus. The big proms o...

Thanks guys!
Franco, they are 'one shots' - disk and proms captured in the same image, I just pull the proms out with the shadows and highlights function, they are quite easy to pull out. I do find the proms easier to capture in CaK than Ha, but I also find they have subtly different structures.

Have you got a float for your car keys? If you capsize and they go in the water you will be glad you have one else you'll be diving to the lake bed to retrieve them.
