Great images there Franco

Great images of the Mercury Transit Marty, glad you had excellent weather

Thanks a lot guys, appreciate your comments

Thanks Franco and Stu

Mercury Transit | 20191111 Check out a few images and videos of the Mercury Transit. I had to do some cloud dodging in the mid afternoon. Seeing was fair (low clouds and strong wind) WEB LINK: http://re.apaaweb.com/sun_h_alpha_2019-11.html https://youtu.be/mPsb1TsBQXg MERCURY TRANSIT | 20191111 Pedr...

Great images Stu, you had good seeing

Lovely images Alexandra. I will post a few images later tonight. I had to fight the clouds as well

Thanks Maurits

Fingers crossed for tomorrow, the weather here is not great

Thanks again guys (Eric & Stu)

It is great to observe with the equipment

Thanks a lot guys

The weather forecast is not great for the Mercury Transit in Portugal, fingers crossed

If the weather permits I will observe the transit from my observatories, fingers crossed

Beautiful FD images Eric

Abrazo

Thanks Alexandra The views are interesting but not the same we get with modern Herschel wedges. The Clave' Pentaprism (90º pentaprism) has an integrated ND filter, and a barlow lens (views are nice but dark - high magnification) Clave' Helioscope (triple-prism erector) is more interesting to use and...

Great FD images Eric, the small AR is clearly cycle 25

Thanks guys

Thanks Paul

Thanks Eric

Fuerte abrazo

Thanks Franco

I agree with Mark, not all scopes are created equal. You will have to test each OTA. I know that Takahashi apos perform really well in at shorter wavelengths

I also use the daystar interference eliminator between the camera and the quark

thanks I agree that you should use the best telescope possible to image the sun The TEC140 is great and I get better results compared to other telescopes I use in my solar imaging sessions For H-alpha imaging (narrowband) you can use an ED or even an achromatic OTA. For Calcium & Continuum it is bes...

I also prefer the first (left) image, better contrast and more detail can be seen
