SolarChat!

Lovely shots mate!

Good stuff, the seeing definitely looked to be a bit better today for you than the other day.

An excellent collage of the review of the year and a worthy spod. Just shows how cr@p the weather was at the back end of last year here in the UK.

Talking about the whisky discussion from the previous thread, I hope everyone's astronomy advice is better than their whisky advice :shock: I saw some Laphroaig in the supermarket on offer and bought it for the hubby to try and make him feel better (got very bad back). He tried it last night and oh...

Re: Sun 8.1.2015 Nice closeups Pepe!

Nice closeups Pepe!

Good shots for bad seeing! Welcome to the 2016 solar season Peter!

A nice disk thanks Eric!

Great views Brian, a lovely looking start to the day. Saturday dawned well, grey, pretty much as usual here, however it isn't raining (yet!). Looks like the UK will get a dose of winter next week. New headlines should be full of roads etc closed because single snow flakes were sighted. We don't cope...

I have only your yahoo post box address. It will nothandle 9Mb files.

tell me another your e-mail address.

Valery

I've pm you another email address. Failing that can you send as a zip file?

Nice job Phil!

@Mark : could understand why it didn't work on your PC. I have other users with the same camera and it works, I just can't understand why it doesn't on your PC :( I'm going to try and reinstall the PGR SDK and see if this makes a difference, i'll persevere with this, just no sun at all at the momen...

Great looking disk there George, thanks!

Good looking results for -8c temperatures. You've been getting more sun than we have lately.

Good capture for the conditions Peter, at least there is a new spot coming into view.

Fiery shots! Try sharpening less at the very large and very small radii to avoid artefacts in the image.

Yup, the seeing was playing havoc for you there. The wider field shot turned out well though.

Super set of shots Brian! Glad winter is making an appearance for you, it's supposed to be a bit more 'seasonal' for us from this weekend too.

By all means send some to me too Valery, i'd be interested in having a process of them

Great disks Eric! Still the clouds continue here, something more wintry coming, apparently, next week so maybe this will give us more blue skies...

You would end up with a massive focal length (6-7m?) with a regular quark. A quark combo would reduce this, but, remember quarks are not necessarily known for their evenly illuminated fields either. I think either would be a bit of a gamble trying personally. I think the key to sorting this out is t...

That is one sexy scope! You are quite clearly very handy in the telescope building department!

Lovely! Lets see a picture of that homemade scope too!

Very nice Eric! Glad the sun is shining in your part of the world, it's not over here

Looks good mate!

I generally find I get pointillism like this (with my full disks for example) when I sharpen at too large a sigma value (kernel size / radius). Dropping this down and upping the iterations to me generally offers an improvement. Given the image was taken on the day when the sun is at it's lowest in t...

Just shows how cr@p decembers weather was, good results considering Rich!

That's a very moody start to the day !

Looks good Valery! Roll on ideal conditions, this setup will shine then

Let us know how you get on

Thanks for this Phil!

Looking good Bill! Cloud and drizzle all day for me...

That's not bad! Over 12 million hits since 2008!

Thumbs up! Was just having a good look around

that comp looks nice!

They look great! It's poring down here again with rain...

Good stuff! Will have to sit down and have a play round with it.

I'll leave this thread here so it gets some good coverage then put it in the solar reference library in a week or so time...

Mark, best watch out now that you disclosed your hoard of 12yro Glenlivet ;) I will have to keep an eye out for it here...darn sure it is still on sale here, unless it is a specific malt/cask that is discontinued. It is all expensive here, (heavily taxed), but a 15 yr Glenlivet runs $75 Can (35 GBP...

Yes, I always do. Good practice as it throws any reflections that may occur.

All are nice images Eric!

Very good! Image 1 is my favourite!

A fine complement of images there Pedro!

I had to follow the links via your blog too, looks like the ones above are truncated. Nice views on there though!

Will that crud clean off? Looks to be on the outer surface. I agree, it is darn annoying when things come like this...

Top shots Eric, hope everything works out ok at home for you...

Nice collection mate, we've started the year to, guess what... wind and rain again! Doh!

Very good Brian! Glenlivet is nice. I don't know which one you are drinking, but the glenlivet 12 year old is no longer made, if you can still get it out there is a good idea to buy up and keep for a bit of 'investment whisky'. I've got 6 bottles of it stashed away, paid just over £20 a bottle for i...

Re: First sunlight - time lapse 01.01.2016 Great addition!

Great addition!

Thanks everyone!

Very good Bill!

That's way cool! You've got me wondering how many I got last near now...
