Time to get creative with eclipse images.

Chief $10.
A different sort of night sky picture. Trying for meteors overnight I was photo bombed by an owl!
Lyrid meteors last night. I usually don't try for meteors when the moon is this bright. This turned out to be a good proof of concept that maybe I should.
The Lyrid meteor shower occurs when Earth passes through debris left by Comet Thatcher (C/1861 G1).

Thanks! That is a very nice solar image. I don't get my HA setup (quark) out enough. That minor step of having to plug it in and let it warm up somehow kills my motivation.

The Sun captured with a Hydrogen Alpha Solar telescope. It's amazing how quickly the Sun's surface changes. Here's two images from today (04/25/2024). The new blue filter in the Lunt blocking filter made a difference and the feathertouch focuser motor is working also.

As a public service announcement...My Lunt B1800 blocking filter had a very cruddy "blue glass" filter which needed changing.
Yes it only costs $10 - https://luntsolarsystems.com/product/blue-glass-for-lunt-blocking-filters/
Lunt has a youtube video explaning the filter replacement procedure -
Truly notch images! Very well done.
Clouds and clouds here but getting some much needed rain.
