AR 1944 5TH Jan

Another look at AR1944.
The last image is from my PST Mod 150mm stopped down to 90mm using a 90mm SolarMax filter to make it a DS system.
Also the White light image I posted yesterday now appears in Sky and Telescope in the US.

Nice images well done......

When it comes to imaging the sun should I use my EQ6 or just a camera tripod.?
I'm concerned what effect the sun might have on the eq6 when directly exposed to sunlight and heat of the day.

Hi Marios,
Use the EQ6 man the sun won't hurt it.

Sorry Denis,
I seem to run out of time lately.

I have no idea how you guys get such high resolution, but this set is amazing.
