Solar Imaging Session - November 19, 2019

The sky this morning is cloudy and I had a hard time doing any imaging of the Sun as it was a wasted effort but didn't regret doing it. But after lunch, the sky was pretty clear and seeing condition is good. I also had a good laugh when I found out I was wearing my collar shirt in reverse :) LOL Maybe that help breaks the bad spell I had this morning :) LOL Remnant of AR2752 Sunspot Group can still be seen although starting to mellow down. Not much bright solar prominence visible on the limb except for a few faint ones only.

Solar Imaging Session - November 18, 2019

The sky this afternoon is very cloudy after I setup :( I almost gave up the session and opted to persevere a little more and I was able to image the remnants of AR2752 Sunspot Group through thin haze before I got obstructed by plants and trees on our roof deck :( I use only a light setup mount this afternoon using just the Borg 76ED refractor on Celestron Nexstar mount.

The sky this morning is partly clear and seeing condition is fair. Remnants of AR2752 Sunspot Group can still be seen on the solar surface as well as a large , faint eruptive prominence can be seen in the NE limb.

Lunar Imaging Session - November 12, 2019

The sky this evening is very cloudy and I have to wait for more than 1.5 hours before I got to image the Full Moon through a small cloud opening! I used again my Canon EOS M6 mirrorless camera on Celestron C90 f/13.8 Maksutov-Cassegrain at prime focus with an exposure of 1/500sec at ISO 400.

Lunar Imaging Session - November 8, 2019

The sky this evening is partly clear and seeing condition is good. I setup again at the roof deck to image the Waxing Gibbous Moon using Canon EOS M6 mirrorless camera with Celestron C90 f/13.8 Maksutov-Cassegrain at prime focus mounted on Vixen Porta II mount with exposure of 1/250sec exposure at ISO 400.

The sky this evening is partly cloudy but my son Kendrick and I were able to image the waxing gibbous Moon using Canon EOS M6 mirrorless camera on Celestron C90, a 90mm f/13.8 Maksutov-Cassegrain at prime focus mounted on Vixen Porta II mount with exposure of 1/60 sec at ISO 400. Hard rain fell upon us after we pack up our setup at our roof deck. Lucky us :) LOL

Lunar Imaging Session - October 31, 2019

The sky this evening is cloudy but I just want to image the waxing crescent moon which is a little low already when I got home at around 15 degrees more or less in the SW horizon. I waited till around past 7:30pm before I got to image them through passing clouds using Canon EOS M6 mirrorless camera on Borg 76ED refractor mounted on Vixen Porta II mount with exposure of 1/250 sec for the crescent mokn and 1/4 sec exposure both at ISO 800.
