Post by FRAZ »


Hi All,

Pretty good sun that day where I am in Liverpool and finally got around to processing it. I am relearning everything from scratch and finally getting it together again.

PST Mod on a 125mm Bresser Donor scope, 125mm internal ERF.
ASI 174mm, 2.5x Powermate.
4000 Frames in Firecapture, 25% stacked in Autostakkert (good quality), Lucy in imppg, Light work in photoshop.

Thanks,
Fraz.

Mentored by Keith, Mike, John and Bill. (The old guard) and forever grateful.
PST mod stage 2 - Quark on extended loan and yet to repay with value ;)
Camera- ASi 174 mono no tilt required.
BF10,15,30 straight through with baader ffc. (looking to replace the rusted IFT on 10 + 15 with a maier replacement)
Lots of nighttime scopes and stuff but focus on the sun.

Hi Mike,

Good to see you still sharing your wisdom on these forums. That first donor scope you helped me with has found a new home with a well known Astronomer over here in England, with instruction to pass it on when no longer used. I'm just getting back into it after a new obs build and some time off work after a solid three years.

Its harder than I remembered it.
