Sol from the 3rd of May 2019.

Post by eroel »

Hi:
Finally finished painting the Meade 102mm f/9 tube, changed the focuser and made a homemade motofocuser that works nicely.
The Meade scope is the one in the center of the setup.
The day was hazy and cloudy, but had a chance to take a couple of CaK FD´s with the Meade refractor with a PST CaK mod, and also some Ha FD´s with the Solarmax 90-DS, the camera was the SKYnyx 2-2.
Thanks for looking and wish you all a nice and sunny weekend.
Eric.
