Sun - First attempt with a PST

Posted By Gianluca Valentini
Welcome to the club Mike!

The toucam is the way to go and Registax takes some practice as the whole imaging thing, but this is by all means a very good start!

Hang in there and you'll be doing great things sooner than you expect wink

Happy b-day to your dog. I've got 3 in the house with me! Picked them up from the street so I don't know their b-day.

My first try at the SUN

Welcome to the club, Robert.

The solar addiction is a very powerful one, but you'll find here a lot of people that have gone through it and have managed to tame it successfully wink

Keep on staying on the "sunny side of the street"

Prominence today: F22.5

Posted By Gianluca Valentini
This is F45, equivalent to 4100mm, way above the limit of the 90mm/BF30 combination. It may be a bit excessive but the result isn't at all bad IMO. It could have benefit from a downsizing, but... what the hell, I have the other smaller one grin

Hope you enjoy this one too 8)

Ciao

Gotta get some sleep: tomorrow I'm off to Germany to work sad But I'll be back tomorrow night to give you an intermediate focal length result and the second smaller prominence of today.

Prominence today: F22.5

These were taken at f27 and have been a little enlarged because they seemed to be good enough to blow up a bit.
The same prominence, just a few minute apart, has already slightly mutated its aspect 8O

Another Sun - May 17th Composite

Posted By Gianluca Valentini
Well Mike, you got it down quite well! Very good processing and focus: the detail in the prominence are very well defined even in the small size: not easy. Well done!

This is Bobski, the last and biggest: he is a puppy and he's scared of just about anything. He had a tough youth: when we found him he was no more than 24hrs away from certain death and weighed only 12 kg (about 26 pounds). Now he is a nice 24kg!
He also has two older sisters that love him now!

This is Buba: she is resting after dinner. That's about all she does: eating and sleeping!
