Intro to H-alpha Solar Imaging
Last October, Lunt Solar Telescopes was having a pre-Mercury Transit sale. I jumped in and bought a 60mm solar scope with double-stack attachment. It hasn't seen much use as I have been waiting for perfect outdoor weather. In the meantime, I've been studying how to shoot the sun in H-alpha. Today I ...

Re: M53 Globular Cluster
That's really nice, Roger. Perfect focus and tracking. And processing globulars is not an easy task. Keep 'em coming.

Re: 5 May 2020 log
Nice report, Pete. Atlas is fading but we've got a brighter comet coming up from the Southern hemisphere. See you at the ZOOM meeting.

Re: Eta Aquarid Meteor
Roger,
That is a gorgeously beautiful image that you caught. LOTS of effort went into capturing the indigo blue sky, sharp stars, the milky way, foreground trees, but that is NOT an Eta Aquarid.
You'll have to get back out there again tonight.

Re: Close encounter asteroid
Nice report, Pete, as usual.
I'd like to visit you again at some point. That was a great time at your dome.
Take care.

Re: Southern Edge of the Moon
Paul D., if you can't beat 'em...join 'em.
I hated to see clear, but moon-filled, nights go to waste. So I rekindled my interest in lunar imaging. Now EVERY clear night has something to offer.

Lovely Luna
April 7th Full Super Pink Moon - the moon does not orbit the earth in a perfect circle. Sometimes it's closer, sometimes it's farther away. When the close point in its monthly orbit matches the same date as the full moon, we get a 'Super Moon'. This creates a lot of unnecessary media hype. The full ...

Re: So who else is planning on stargazing tonight?
It appears that Comet Atlas might be falling apart. See the story on Space Weather.
