Thanks Robert for sharing your fine-images.
I have three Altair GPCAM's one colour, which have also produced some excellent images in the past years, but now using for Ha and CaK two ZWO ASI-178MM's, but the WL is still using one mono GPCAM..

Cheers to way-up North-East from the way-down S.E. U.K.

Good shots Brian! I have the same 60/f6 as you, stop it down to 40mm for CaK full disks, the improvement is dramatic.

Apologies Brian, I do in fact have a cousin Robert who lives on the other side of your land and was thinking about him this afternoon.

Best Wishes
