Fullerscopes Telescope Mountings

This blog has become my ATM design, build and imaging diary. I have recently built several new telescopes, a large equatorial mounting and a raised 10' [3m] dome on an octagonal building. Be aware that I deal with building solar telescopes. Which are potentially VERY dangerous! I can accept NO responsibility for any action not directly supervised by myself. You are NOT entitled to blame any other person for your OWN lack of skill or ignorance. You copy me at your own peril!

30.5.20

30.05.2020 Give me sunshine.. tra-la.

Saturday 30th 08.15. 62/55F

Bright sunshine. Disturbed areas at 2.30 and 10 o'clock near the limb. The 2 o'clock [NW] is accompanied by a filament. The 10 o'clock [NE] could become an AR.

Steady seeing beginning to be bodily mobile. Swapped back and forth between blocking filters. B1200 preferred. x1.6 TS GPC.

A bright flare is reported on the limb. With the hope of a significant AR appearing around the oncoming limb.

A complex area in the SE quadrant.

I have captured another few videos of the NE limb to see if there is anything new. The rotation of the sun is clearly visible in the 2 hours between the earlier and later images.

The steady seeing is going bad with the arrival of more cloud.
