No7 tells not606 how his new solar telescope is "working a treat". please log in to view this image Impressive pictures actually No7, have you got any detailed pictures of the other planets or the moon? Would love to see them.
Only had that particular scope for about a month...true to form the clouds Rolled in for the first few weeks lol. I also have a 10" Dob reflector, that is awesome, but I haven't used it for about 10 years and is in the shed - it takes about 30 mins to put up and another to put down and is visual only. This one is purely for astroi-maging. The moon (which btw is a right pain when it is up for deep sky imaging due to the light) hasn't been rising till after about midnight recently, but I took one recently. That whirlpool galaxy image is 91 mins of 10 second exposures, stacked. Over the last few nights I have been imaging it for about 45 mins each night and soon I'l have about 4 hours worth of photos. I'll stack them then and it will be almost Hubble like after a bit of post processing. The moon the other night - was a quick shot.
