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!

15.04.2021 Morning imaging session.

*

Thursday 15th 30F, white overnight frost, bright start, becoming cloudy.

My G9 camera won't download today's photos. Wasted ages on it.

11.30 Back to imaging just in time for the cloud to cover the sky. 48f inside the dome. Grabbing 500 frame videos, when I can, between cloud.

Screen mages a bit soft and dull. No real definition.

Caught one video and processed it. Now it looks 'overcooked' to me:

12.10. 49F. My hands are cold!

A brief clearing of the sun produced another image:

The etalon is badly tuned and the lighting still very asymmetric.

More detail through the clouds than without them.

12.20 Solid cloud now. Moving quite slowly from the NE.

12.27 Another brief clearing.

12.38 50F.

13.02 Prom
