Hello all,

With the fast approaching Solar Eclipse next Friday, Solar Filters are flying off the shelf. Some sizes are out of stock already.

http://www.ktectelescopes.ie/Solar-O...Solar-Filters/

Dont leave it too late if you are looking for one.

St Patricks day is a holiday, so our carriers are not delivering that day, so Monday and Wednesday are our only 2 despatch days next week for items to be delivered in time for the early Friday morning eclipse.

We do have plenty of Solar Filter Paper, 12" x 12" sheets, for those of you looking to make your own

We got out to do a bit of imaging the other night.

Sadr region in Cygnus. Both photos are from the same set of subs.
40 subs at 90 seconds each, at ISO800, taken with a modified Canon 1000D, through a Skywatcher 80ED Pro, on a Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro mount.

Photo 1 is with about 15 minutes spent processing in PS.

Photo 2 is with about 30 minutes spent processing in PS.

Still a good bit of data left to pull out of this, just havent got time at moment, plus I could darken the background sky a little.
