Re: Calcium prom attempts!
These are excellent Nic! If you want to draw the proms out more try a second iteration of shadows and highlight, somewhere along lines of tone 10-15% radius 10-15 after the first iteration. You could try tilting the filter in the Lunt, I think an easier route is stopping down the scope. You're CaK f...

I’m not sure how much further tweaking you could do, but I’m sure you’ll eventually squeeze out every last drop of capability from your setup. :D Be interesting to see what the solar spectrum CAK etalons show. Till then I keep fiddling, I can't help myself :D It certainly will be interesting. Keep ...

Re: PST tuning ring issue
Welcome to the forum, will the screw thread back in? If not, just use a larger screw that will thread back in. It just needs to locate in one of the holes in the black ring you can see. When you have done this you can tune the scope, when it comes on band, all good, if it won't come on band locate t...

Re: Solar Images from 15th April 2024
Very nice CaK there Ella! Which Bresser scope are you using here? Hi Mark, just the cheapie bresser achromatic 100mm f10 stopped down to 80mm. For full disks and proms try stopping down to 60mm, you're not going to lose any resolution but you will get a bit more contrast, especially with the proms.

I love the 183mm for full disks, it is perfect up to around 800mm focal length.
