Sol from the 23rd of January 2018.

Post by eroel »

Hi:
Took a couple of discs with the Meade 102mm f/9 with the CaK PST mod, and with the Solarmax 90-DS-BF30, the camera the SKYnyx 2-2.
Excuse the quick processing. :oops:
Thanks for looking,
Eric.

Lovely disks Eric! I just made the mistake of looking at the weather forecast for where I am for the weekend - looks like it will be february now before I can get out and observe old yellow face...

Another great session with detailed disks Eric (as much as we can get with low activity). Well done :bow

Nicely imaged, Brian. Pity there’s so little to see at the moment.

Hi Eric,

As always, your FD images are first class! Thanks for all of them, not only for todays images.

Too bad you still did not fully arm your 10" Mak for high res imaging.

Valery:
Thanks for your kind comments.
As for the HR imaging with the 10" f/20 Maksutov, well, I have to recheck collimation and Motofocus, because I had a couple of construction workers at the observatory, to make some remodelling. I did not take down the scopes from their permanent mounts, but you can imagine that they bumped with scopes, cameras, etc..., so I am just waiting for a suitable seeing day, so to check all the scopes, recollimate them and make them work as they should. The other problema , is that the rural observatory is 150 Km away from home, so I just can go there on some weekends because of work and compromises, so it is not easy to go and expect to have a nice sunny day or starry night. :(
I am also working in getting the observatory workable from home (robotic), so to use it more time and when climate conditions are good at the location.
Send my best regards and thanks for your support.
Eric.
