More practice needed.

[Martin Pugh]

Seeing these solar images of late, reminded me that I have a Solarmax DS90 and a PGR Grasshopper2 sitting on my mount doing nothing. Given I have much to learn about this style of astrophotography and with the transit just a couple of weeks away, I had another go today.

Not a patch on what other folk are doing, but my seeing was crap, and there was a lot of high cloud around, and the operator is useless.

thoughts on this?

cheers

Hi Martin,
This looks OK - keep the sessions going so you can get the best out of your equipment and you before the transit.
I am not familiar with the camera you have but it appears that you are prime focus - I would keep playing as is and try to maximise focus - maybe cover the screen with your head under it - solar imaging requires you to be quite flexible at times!

Typical Martin Pugh's work..most of us would never got this far after years of hand-on. I am sure its wont' be long before we see his significant solar images.
