well i was at home today suffering from some exotic disease
and managed to get a break in the clouds in Newcloudville. the first shot showed i was having some signal problems with the ZWO camera and prostar 0.5 reducer, for some reason when stacked in autostakkert it turned to crud on the edges. i may redo this one later - after all its going to rain again....pleanty of time
then i had an epiphany why not put on the vixen 2.4 time barlow i bought to use with the ZWO camera. well i did that and the results speak for themselves. i gave it a go - more room for improvement - i am not sure but i think it is sunspot 1671
lunt 60 double stacked from the doghouse observatory
i am persevering with the ZWO for the moment but up against the DMK41 both have pluses and minuses
so as i said stacked in autostakkert, then registax6 then photoshop then here
