desperate sunnage LOL

It’s a fantastic day. I am missing the dome, SPSP and the past months great weather.
I needed some emergency sunnage?
I have no scope, no DMK51, no ZWO120 or 174mm with me, no tripod………I am getting desperate for some sunnage.
But wait - I remember I have in a box, in my drawer an emergency cut offs supply of solar film. Oh joy!!!
Now its play school time. Scrounging a pain killer box, a dunny roll tube and using some sticky tape I McGyvered my way to make this monstrosity.
To the locker now I find the old tripod work has - its rusty through no use. Then I borrowed the camera from work - LOL ended up grabbing a panasonic DMC-TZ60

Taken
32° 55' 37.98" S
151° 46' 19.8" E
WGS-84


OMG how desperate is this…….

You cant take yourself seriously

Haha that's brilliant David! Got some good McGyver skills going on there. Well, you forgot to use some chewing gum and thumb tacks in there as a way of separating the solar spectrum

LOL Davo, I just had to log on and see this, sorry I had to get off the phone.
Mate this just has to win the Macgyver section of the DM awards this year.

Is there no chance you can make the Pony Club tonight?
I'm going, I gotta get my fill, it's been ages and I'm taking the Canon 1.5D

Great work mate, you're a legend.
