Hello Ivan!

Very nice images! I don't know if it's because I'm watching them with a friend's computer, but they all seem to have a green cast, but it may be my friend's screen calibration (he's not an astro-nut like us wink )

Ciao Ivan

Luca

PS tomorrow my holidays are over and I'll have to leave beautiful and sunny South Africa (from where I'm writing to you right now) and get back to rainy Italy. Alas I did not have my scope with me (only a binocular) but I've seen some awesome skies out in the bush. There were no alligators, but lions, leopards, hippos, hyenas and so imaging was not adviced grin

FSQ or NP 101is

Posted By Gianluca Valentini
Hello Curtis,

although this is not the right forum to ask such a question, since the 2 scopes you mention are more for DSO than solar system, I would undoubtedly go with the FSQ. Even if the Televue is a good scope the Takahashi is way above it. I have the FSQ and I would not exchange it for any other lens based astrograph.

Very good job James!!!

Love the close up and the full disk image. I hope to be able to do some white light imaging tomorrow. H-alpha a little later in the week.

Ciao James and keep up the good work.

the edge

Posted By Gianluca Valentini
Very nice sunscape my friend!

The usual smooth processing completes the work.

Thanks for showing it Alan.

Luca

PS I've opened the solar hunting season, but the weather is so bad here that I have had the pleasure to see the 960 only for a few seconds among clouds. I hope the weather clears before it disappears behind the edge sad
