Belated FD image's from 21st

Post by Stardust5858 »

Hi all, again a frustrating time. Image's from the 21st February. On the day my solarquest mount decided not to play ball and wouldn't lock on to the GPS satellites and wouldn't work. What normally takes a minute took an hour of switching the thing on and off. Next the clouds started to form and seeing wasn't so good. Anyway enough of that. Here are the results. Lunt 60mm DS and 80ed badder K-Line scope. Apologies for the time stamp on these. They should read 20210221. All processed today

You still managed to pull out some nice images (despite the seemingly difficult conditions). Looks good.

Thanks Mark, appreciate your comment. I guess we all get equipment challenge's from time to time, lol. I was using a few choice words, lol.

Don’t you just hate those frustrating sessions? The images came out well in the end, though.

Thanks Stu, appreciate your comment. Yep, really frustrating when you hope to get some nice imaging done and things don't work for no reason whatsoever that worked last time you switched it off. As they say Stu, all's well that ends well.

That's a pretty phenomenal filaprom :bow :hamster: and lots of super images :hamster:
Sounds like me at lunchtime, not much time between clouds, mount wouldn't move in declination, left the Baader K line filter on and couldn't understand why the Halpha disc wasn't there, couldn't work out what was going on with the DS filter etc etc. These things are sent to try us when we have very limited time.

I guess it happens. Was imaging today and all went smoothly, can't believe or understood why these random glitches happen. Hope you got some data.
