What an excellent set up Mark, soon you will be getting a dome to cover it :) I just wonder how you tune the etalons at that height :shock:

Great images too :bow

I've been solar observing on Saturday and today (my deferred day off). Seeing has been very poor both days. I'm not sure I will ever catch up on Solarchat or process my images :)

My vote is for "Scopey McScopeface". Scopey for short though...
Surely "Corona-21" :seesaw


Call me Geoff.

I do what I do because I want to, and because I can....

Doesn't mean I know what I'm doing, though!

Not where I live sadly, a dome would draw the wrong type of attention. I have a green waterproof cover that looks like it's a covered rotary washing line, much less eyecatching to your average ruffian...
