Sky-Watcher Evostar 72ED + Lacerta Herschel Wedge + Barlow 3x + Baader Solar Continuum filter + ZWO ASI174MM. Stacked using AS!3, sharpened in ImPPG, assembled in Hugin from 2 panels and post-processed in RawTherapee
This is my new SkyWatcher Esprit 80 f5 400mm focal length. Looks optically superb, and very well made. Focuser section from the top, also showing the finderscope mounting plate.

Skywatchers looking up this Saturday night (May 5) at the full moon may sense it’s a bit more striking than usual- and they won’t be imagining it. Thanks to coincidental timing of the moon being at its closest approach to Earth for 2012 while in its full phase, our planet’s companion will appear 16% larger and 30% brighter than usual. While some are calling it a supermoon, astronomers say that the hype surrounding its supposed ’super-effects’ on Earth are unwarranted.
For thousands of years connections between the motion and phase of the moon have been made with various happening here on Earth from timing of harvests to ocean navigation, so making the leap that the Moon not only reflects, but actually controls natural occurrences is very understandable, astronomers say. But now we have physics and astronomy on our side and we know pretty well what’s possible and what is not.

Photo taken using a Nikon D40 attached to Skywatcher ED80 refractor. Exposure is of 17min and 2s. Composite image, no dark frames. No autoguiding was used during the taking of the images. Processing was done using DeepSky Stacker and GIMP.
I made a solar filter for my SkyWatcher 900mm scope, using a Baader Planetarium film and then attached my Canon 550D.
During the eclipse it was cloudy, and we couldn't see anything, but the sun started to burn through it towards the end. I started trying to take photos, but could see nothing but black, so it took a while to find usable settings.
Once I discovered I could take photos that weren't completely one shade I started trying to line the scope up to actually find the sun. This took ages, but the sequence of photos here show what happened when I finally got it.
I'd missed almost the entire thing, but the moon was still taking a tiny bite out of the edge, so I didn't cry.
I could not focus the camera, sadly. It only adjusts so far and that proved not to be far enough. I'm not sure if that means astrophotography is out for me or if I can maybe change some cheap parts to improve it.
It's also not clear how much the home made filter affects this. Despite my best efforts, the solar film did end up a bit warped and wrinkly!
