New Year's eve sunshine

Post by Montana »

Only a quick glimpse today, sadly only some shots with the DS Halpha PST as I think my CaK PST has died. A sad end to 2020 :(

Really nice disks Alexandra. I'm just processing mine. Did the replacement CaK parts not work?

Sorry to hear about the CaK PST, Alexandra. Lovely Ha FDs though. Lots of activity in the southern half beautifully imaged.

"New Year's eve sunshine" eh Alexandra !!

That's a new one on me for this part of the world. Aussie-land etc., might have it, but perhaps after a few drinks - you think you are there - wishes...

Thanks though for these excellent images and the efforts too - from your Aussie bedroom observatory or elsewhere...

BEST WISHES FOR 2021 - FOR YOU AND THE FAMIILY...

Regards
Terry
