Been a while as I have had a lot of other projects and travel going on.

Went to Vegas for a work meeting last week.  Got to do Arches at night on the way down and Death Valley on the way out.  

Not much sleep and I now need a vacation from the vacation.

 

The sun today was in good form, but we had quite a breeze that was difficult to contend with (esp at long FL)

My Quark is back at the Daystar lab being looked over (and hopefully replaced).  

 

Celestron C6r, Altair wedge, Baader continuum, zwo 462, Altair 5x balrow

I tried my new GSO focuser today.  And while it was miles better than the stock focuser, I have to say

it was not super smooth.  But will give it some time.  

Only other option was the Moonlite, and I didn't want to commit that kind of $$.

Great set Jeff ... bow.gif

 

"Been a while ..." doesn't begin to describe things in my little corner of the planet , haven't had a glimpse of the Sun since the last opportunity to image which was back on 11th of October ... !!!

 

Am presently still sitting under what's known as an "Anti-cyclonic Gloom" but there's a half chance of seeing some blue on Monday all being well , but I'm not holding my breath ... crazy.gif
