Some Sun Finally

[Star Catcher]

We finally got some sun on the weekend in Sydney and I dusted off the LS80Tha and the DMK41 camera. Taken with 2x barlow. Seeing was inconsistent and plenty of rubbish interspersed with some good seeing.

Hi Ted
That is a very clear pic - you did take advantage of the good seeing bits!

Thanks Matt! Had enough good frames to crunch some wavelets etc. Now back to waiting for its re-appearance in Sydney :(

Thanks Derek. Still waiting here today for a glimpse!

Thanks Al, yes it helps with signal but as Peter Ward has previously said, its the seeing that beats you more than larger aperture. However I would'nt say no to a 203mm lunt :)
Ted



Thanks Kev. I tend to agree, although inconsistent seeing can make you work hard to extract the detail at higher mags.

Yeah, but I don't think I'm seeing limited on my SM40 very often.:P
