I am afraid that photography through the PST is nearly imposible, hard to get focus and detail. :D

[atalas]

Yes dude your right ,take the filter off and adapt It to your SCT and bobs your uncle!

Louie :D

[h0ughy]

I wish i had an uncle bob who was smart enought to do that, I'm not :ashamed:

[iceman]

h0ughy can I borrow your PST? I'll take some webcam pics through it.. show you it can be done :)

btw nice pic! Might have to get out the solar filter if these clouds ever go away.

[gbeal]

So thats what it looks like, man we haven't seen it for a while. In fact all we have had for the last few days is fog, just like the Saturday morning at Taupo (you know what I mean Pau?).

It's beautiful. As long as it only lasts a couple of hours:)

Hi Houghy

That is a very nice image indeed Mr. Houghy, considering your non-use of a telescope! You have captured the internal structure of these spots very nicely - I am impressed!

Cheers
