Hi all,
This weekend I had just enough time to set up my solar rig and make some animations, seeing was terrible and clouds where a plenty, but jeez I enjoyed myself. The animations attached where taken over a couple of hours using "timesource" and my solar autoguider. The clouds played a major part in my shorter than usual animations, but I'm not complaining.

I am about to upgrade to a 100mm Ha telescope so the animations should be much better.

Thanks!



Me too, but I just found out it's going to be another 2 weeks before I get my ERF

Thanks Karen, I am glad you enjoyed it!



Thanks, Peter.I hope your solution is not too simple! That would make my efforts a bit redundant! I hope you enjoy guiding like I do regardless. It makes life so much easier.



Cheers Gary!
