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!

18.06.2022 Morning imaging between clouds.

*

Saturday 18th 67F, very cloudy from the west

11.00[CET] Still waiting for the sun to clear.

11.07 First image. I have quickly captured all the ARs in case it remains cloudy.

I am getting 107 fps with SharpCap and the ZWO ASI174MM camera.

11.08 Approaching the western limb.

Complex disturbed region with filaments.

11.09 Large filaments in the north-eastern quarter.

11.38 GPC changed to 2x for wider field of view of north-eastern quarter. Cropped slightly to remove PST etalon, sweet spot variations.

11.47 Another wider field. South western quarter. Slightly cropped.

15.00 I went back out to check the seeing conditions. Awful! Impossibly bad for imaging. I'll try again later. Camera temperature was 36F.

There never was an improvement.
