Good Afternoon! Still bad weather in my region but I wanted to image that big sunspot-group AR3190, now 4-5 times bigger than Earth and, selftested - visible to the naked eye using solar eclipse ...

Hi Rudi! Indeed - handheld is possible with the camera/lens image stabilization...but I use it combined with the self-timer so therefore the tripod in my case. :-) kind regards,

Greetings! Lovely Halpha image...I'm not doing the right now, as the Sun just reaches 20° at the most in my region but will be back to Halpha in March. :-) best regards,

Hi Dan! Yeah...lots of action right now AND in the upcoming months to be expected - until end of 2024. :-) And keep in mind - I'm using a full format sensor, 4times the size of yours, so much more ...

Hi Jack! Not bad for f11 and 800mm. :-)

Go for it Dan, good luck! 🌞👍

Good Afternoon! Many sunspot groups that cause M- and even X-flares on the sun during these week. I made a quickshot from my balcony using just my DSLM+tele+Baader solar foil as the Sun has just ...

Hehe, thank you very much... great you like it.

Thx... and yes, it's a single shot and colour is just WB set in Capture One, so not colored afterwards. best regards,

Thx Jack, very kind. Happy new year.

Hi Chris! Thx, and indeed, it IS a lot of work - recording and putting all together. 😁💪

Good Morning! Quick shot from my balcony during the New Years concert running on TV with my DSLM + 150-600mm lens + 1.4TC + Baader ND 5.0 solar foil: Whole Sun in white light Happy New Year!

Hehe...yeah, I can feel with you. I had in total 3 opportunities to image Mars but in all those sessions I had to stop after about an hour - due to fog or clouds. I'm at 47°N - not much better ...

Good Morning! Had bad weather conditions since start of November - quite normal in my region in central Europe but yesterday it had been quite warm during the day and so the fog had no chance as it ...

Wow...14+ hours - THAT's the way! :-)

Wow...Bortle 8/9 and so much nebulae imaged with nice stars - bravo, great achievment! best regards,

Hehe...bravo - you clearly showed that you don't need a SCT to record surface details on Mars - even the frozen northern polar cap is visible. :-)

Hi Mario! Solid work and especially impressive from a Bortle 9 location. I would have reduced the surrounding stars even more, personal taste. :-)
