There were plenty of #Prominences visible on the #Sun on 3rd April 2023. #CoronadoPST H-alpha solar telescope, 2x Barlow & #ZWO #ASI120MC camera. I took a 1,000 frame video & stacked the best 50%. #Sunspot group #AR13270 is visible in the 3rd image

The #Sun in white light and H-alpha on 3rd April 2023. Taken from Oxfordshire with a #CoronadoPST + 2x Barlow & #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor fitted with a #ThousandOaks glass solar filter + #Celestron 3x Barlow. #ZWO #ASI120MC camera. Lots of #filaments & #AR13270 was looking gorgeous

My most recent capture. This was from last night and it was the first clear night in weeks. It also was my first night with my new mount, the ZWO AM5. I’m a big fan. This is the soul nebula, captured in SHO. #soulnebula #astrophotography #astronomy #zwo #am5

Question for #astrodon community. I’ve got an #asiairplus a #celestron c8 edge on an #AVX mount and a #zwo asi #224mc camera.

The focal length of the c8 means that the Asiair can’t #platesolve with the camera attached. What are my best options here?

A #guidescope - platesolve and goto with the camera attached to the guidescope then switch the camera to the c8 once in position

As above, but buy a separate camera for the guidescope and use that to platesolve and #guide

Anything else?
