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!

8.10.2022 Morning imaging.

Saturday 8th Oct. 53F. Sunny periods with plates of cloud. Seeing conditions shaky, simmering and soft.

10.13 CET 1000x1000

10.21 1448x1216

11.14 1448x1216

11.47 1448x1216 Slightly better detail.

11.47 A composite of three overlapping images above and below AR3112. Resized to 1000.

12.12 Transparency is improving. Thermal shaking is worse. I have retuned the Lunt etalon for more even brightness across the frame.

12.18 More cloud! Better transparency.

12.35 Time for a break. Too much cloud.

I tried again after lunch but the seeing was softer. Probably caused by the house roof. It rained hard just after 3.00!
