Thanks Mark. I am hopeful someone will see that very thing,

Daystar 0.28A (0.3A) Quantum PE H-Alpha solar filter . The flagship H-Alpha filter at Daystar. This filter goes the deepest into the H-Alpha wavelength and is of professional (research-grade) quality. The details on the solar disk are phenomenal, both visually and photographically. All warranties f...

Thanks everyone. This is very helpful!

Hi Everyone: This year was a bust for me regarding solar imaging. I moved twice in 3 months, for reasons ranging from flooding in my apartment to an unhinged neighbor. I decided to buy a house rather than continue renting. There were more considerations than just astronomy that went into my decision...

The filaments are quite differentiated, and the granulation is superbly rendered.

-Charles

So impressive. Your images are always stunning. I really admire the contrast and sharpness of your instrument!

-Charles

Nice capture of some very delicate details!

-Charles

Looks like the teardrop effect. Great images!!

-Charles

Amazing detail Eric. The texture is lovely.

-Charles

Very impressive detail!

-Charles

Really Lou? Well, that is a revelation. I can understand why the cost is so prohibitive for both, given the meticulous manufacturing process required! I might have a couple of questions for you regarding solar imaging with the 9.25. Perhaps on private message?

Charles

Lou, my ERF is from AiryLab. They had a run recently. I am sure they are of excellent quality, but they don't come at all cheap. I think he has one left for the 9.25. I am sure the Daystar one was more reasonably priced, and I would be very curious to find out how the two perform! Yes, good seeing i...

I'd like to find out more. Will call my contact there!

-Charles

Amazing detail Lou! I didn't know that Daystar manufacturers such large ERFs. I don't see it on their site. Was it custom made? Is it off axis?

-Charles

From Montreal... record rainfall for spring and the summer is just a continuation. I just spent an extended time in India this spring, but apparently did not miss anything weather-wise. I am having my Daystar quantum refurbished, and hopefully will get it back next week. In the meantime, I have a Ba...

Lovely shots Brian. I am glad you are getting some imagining done. The weather has been horrendous from my site, a couple of hundred miles to your north.

-Charles

Really nice details in those disks Stu!

I just got an ERF for a 9.25, so this is a real treat to see. Great details and fine action that you've caught Nick.

-Charles

Interesting and intricate details. Really lovely to see.

-Charles

Fantastic detail here Eric! Really well done.

-Charles

Wow. Absolutely stunning. The detail is incredible.

-Charles

Thank you both. This is very helpful!

Hi Everyone:

I was wondering whether I can use a Baader or AP Herschel Wedge with a 9.25 SCT and a full front-mounted ERF? I would like to image solar granulation in WL. Or would a front mounted white light filter be preferable?

Thanks!

Charles

Lovely full disk. The texture is amazing despite the absence of major activity.

-Charles

Fantastic detail David, despite the quiet sun. There seems to be traces of Newton Rings, or am I seeing things?
