Happy Sun today

[Matt Wastell (Matt)]

Well it was me that was happy, the Sun was just doing it's thing (I have not been solaring for some time!).
Lunt60 with DMK51 at prime focus.
Image 1 was at 1/154 exp and gamma 80 (disc view) and image 2 the same exp but 260 gamma (disc and prom view). Quick process in Regisatx 5.
I was very pleased to be out under the Sun!

very nice, Matt!

Excellent images Matt, they show a lot of detail which is nicely resolved. The colour version is my favourite; it really pops when you open the file. I bet you sweltered today, it hit 35 °C in Brissie!

Cheers

Great image Matt, that looping prominence on the RHS of the colour one is a treat!

Yes I like the colour version best. I find that using a single panel has it's limitations though. It might pay to consider using a barlow Matt.

Hi Paul
I did use the 2.5 Powermate during this session but honestly the conditions were so poor I was almost unable to obtain any detail on the screen - the worst I have ever seen! I do like ramping up the mag a touch but I have not seen any skies of late that can handle the powermate on the 60 - frustrating! I still have the 80 waiting for better conditions too - it will get a run when conditions improve!
