Why not? :D

My wife and I were discussing whether it was a cat or one of those long haired cattle.

Have you see Banjo's image of the same scene?

Absolutely amazing!

Yes, Banjo did great!! I could easily see the filaments and plage of AR12849 in my Coronado 60. Seeing was decent too giving a good view in the 60. I am preparing to post my data now. Give me an hour or so and it will be up.

Thanks Mark. :bow

I can only blame that 1.25x Baader GPC in the AOK Swiss, adapter baffle right behind the PST etalon.
The seeing has been poor lately with lots of cloud. Literally impossible to focus reliably.

It's all happening behind the etalon so it's not changing the etalon performance.
Having the extra focal length has allowed the 2" helical focuser to sneak back in.
Very handy for rough focusing.
