I had to remember how to use the mount and then since I had a crash sometime back I had to download astrostakkert and registax again and then figured out the wavelets and then in
Not the greatest shot but at least I got out to do it.

AR 2759 Apr 6 2020
It has been 10 months since I fired up the Quark. Decided today as it was warm, 50F. Broke out the Lunt 102 and put the Quark on it.
I had to remember how to use the mount and then since I had a crash sometime back I had to download astrostakkert and registax again and then figured out the wavelets and then inPS luckily I had saved my curve presets, saved some time.
Not the greatest shot but at least I got out to do it.

I might not always be right but I am never wrong, once I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken...

Looks good to me Ben - at least you can see the damn sun! I had hoped for something today, but there's a lot of thin high cloud around to start the morning.
Just call me Geoff....

Re: AR 2759 Apr 6 2020
Looked at Gong and the AR looks much the same and no proms, trying to decide whether to break out the 120mm and shoot it again or go into my bird blind to try some shots of birds in my garden. I have 6 Canon DSLRS (5D, 5DIV, 6DII, 80D, 90D, 7DII) and use my Sigma 150-600mm lens. Since I can't go anywhere I am going to do both solar (when it is clear) and bird photography anytime.
