Nice prom (20110406)

[David]

The sun is beautiful today with a few rather big proms. Here is the biggest one, taken under ugly seeing in a rush.

I want to image this afternoon, but forget to bring FT focusing system

Yes! I observed that big prom today, but I don't have time to image it.

Me too
Clouds came when I just about to shot it...after that, cloudy all the way and rain in the late evening until now....

This one is reprocessed with Photoshop. Due to time constraint, I only shot it with my small scope LS100T. The transparency was terrible. Just look at these figures!

Gain: 950
Exposure: 1/30s
Number of frames stacked: 500 (out of about 4000 frames)
Gamma: 80

not smaller, not relatively smaller, but small.....

poor me, my LS75F is not even qualified as small. Should I call it tiny?

LS100T is my most lazy setup. The problem with LS75F is not its microscopic size, it is the need to find FT focusing accessories.... I don't have that problem with my LS100T.

That's the way of life, apparently. The sky is usually no good when good things happen!

We see completely eye to eye on these issues. So sad
I would be even worse as I can't set up my telescope on school when there is big sight on sun.
