Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) atoptics Carpal Tunnel Reged: 08/10/06 Loc: UK CN Sun Day Proms + *Montage* -- Updated       #2376902 - 05/07/08 08:33 AM Attachment (50 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   On the 1st CN Int Sun day there were some moments of exquisite seeing that resolved the proms into minute tendrils. However, they were all about 7-8 minutes before the fixed times!! This view at 1000Ut had good seeing that allowed a 5mm ep. Some of the structure was faint and elusive. That's Pete on the left holding the proms steady for his exposures.

You know, up against an image there's no where to hide and you've proved, yet again, just what a fantastic sketcher you are. Your renditions are very accurate indeed and that's something to be really proud of in my book. As for the other's - a fantastic job everyone! Mark - I sensed you were worried about the afocal contribution but I hope the montage Les has put up has convinced you of it's worth. Greg's fantastic image at 15:30 shows the evil penguin about which more later...

There will still be some images to add (where's Nick!) so please keep them coming. We really chose the most awkward and strangely changing prom that we could find! We must do it again (but maybe not tomorrow!!). Pete - You must be immensely relieved to find that your equipment works OK . But seriously, it does relieve me that sketches can have a nodding resemblance to reality. Maybe at liesure you can pm me your images because it will be very educational to study them in detail.
