Terrific shots there Kearn - you have captured the faculae very well on the 3rd image. How on earth do you guys take these incredible images through Dobs?

Cheers

Thanks Houghy, Dennis (altho I am not in your league mate) , David!! :-)))) its been a while since i did any afocal shots

Dennis - re your question, lots of magnets and patience!! - (its a very sturdy steel tube) but it must be very nice on a rock solid guided mount i bet (specially in the wind)- one day? my mate has an old C8/GP he keeps asking when we are gonna put the CP on it for a test -
Cheers
