Sun Nov 18th - PST - My First Image

Hi All,

Picked up a used Coronado PST last week. Purchased a cheap Camera Tripod, and I must say it is the easiest scope I have ever used (it sits on my sideboard, and I literally grab it when I have a spare 15 minutes, pop the mini tripod on my Sulo bin (perfect height for me), and have a quick peek at the sun. Amazed at the views for such a little scope (looks like a toy, but it is definitely a fine piece of equipment).

Had no joy with DSLR (back focus issue), will sort that out at a later date. Here is my first snap holding my Galaxy S6 to a 15mm eyepiece (can't get much more crude than that).

Very enjoyable experience (this could become an addiction).

Cheers,

Thanks for the positive comments.

Hoping to get into post processing, at this stage, just happy to be able to snap a quick image.
