Quick Full Disk After Work - 30th April

Post by marktownley »

Skies started to clear up a bit this afternoon and I was quick enough home to grab a brief moment of sun before having to head out of the house again to do our weekly shop. Was taken through an open front door so not the sharpest, but better than a poke in the eye! The Lunt50 sat on a warm radiator for about 15 mins while I set up and performed brilliantly. I think the climate is a bit chilly here in the UK for Lunts :D

Not a great deal to see! Got the mount setup in the back yard now as clear skies are forecast for morning. Fingers crossed for better viewing then!

Nicely done, Mark. As you say, a very quiet disk.

Thanks guys, this Lunt50 has me racking my brains as to why it is behaving the way it is.
