Nice, Peter

[Paul Haese]

Yeah like that one. Great detail and nicely illuminated. Have you looked through it yet Pete? I heard that it is not that great for anyone over 40.

Ta. Yep, faint violet blob...but can't really see much else.

Looking good Peter, always nice to play with the new toys, that is after the obligatory cloud or rain period that seems to accompany them.

Cheers

Man you have to be happy with the new Combo. Outstanding shot Peter.

One of the best CaK images I've seen, well done.

[Matt Wastell (Matt)]

That is great - I knew this light was tough to image with but seeing too! Is there anyway you can give a depiction of what you see at the scope?

I can see a Toshiba Qosmio screen, a PME, AP305 RHA, AP155..... ...,,but I suspect you mean through a CaK filtered scope + eyepiece.

Very faint violet disk. No structure.
