These images look fantastic Ronnie :hamster: you live at a dizzying height :shock: When I first saw what you meant by the rings I thought instantly what Mark said. I get this same effect with the Solarscope and the Grasshopper 3 when the gamma is too high. I found a limit that I should never go ove...

Ronnie,

You need a new b/w camera and you should use 16bit image data to get rid of these "rings".

Thanks for your help Valery. I have a Basler acA1920-155. I'll test it in my next session .

Marktownley, For the edge I use the Curves Tool. In the first image I´ve used the "curve toll" in a single layer (same curve for both edge and surface). For second image I´ve used the "curve tool" in two different layers (one for edge and other for surface). About Gamma, normally I use Gamma enabled...

Thanks Friends!

At the first time I was thinking that it was some processing artefact too... But it appears during the capture, just on the right side of image/video. Yesterday I did some videos (I need to process to share here) and these rings appeared again...

Thanks guys!

Dan, I catch my pictures from my balcony (I live in an apartment). I keep the windows opened to do the job ;-)...

About the rings, I´m talking about it...

Hello friends! Last week I did the first test with my new toy, a Lunt LS60 DS. I´ve liked it, but I´m having some challenges with “ghost discs” (more than I was expecting). Other issue occurs at right side of sun image (in the picture), there are some “rings” (like reflections) that I can´t eliminat...

Many thanks by the kind words friends :-)

Beautiful pics Pedro, fine details. Your TEC and Quark works very well together

Thaks for your suppport Bob and Mark :-). I´ve sent an e-mail directly to Mark from SolarSpectrum, he says me that he had never seen it before. Not Newton Rings like that, "looks like a topographical map". Mark asked me to try differents configs to try eliminate it like a Newton Rings (tilting the c...

Many thanks Maurits, Stu and Brian :-).

Hello friends! Last weekend I was doing some pictures and I've noticed an interesting effect (or issue). Using high gain appeared concentric rings (not newton rings I think) in center of picture... Have you ever seen it before? What is that? Equipment utilized: Telescope: APM LZOS 152/1200 (triplet)...

Alexandra, Franco, Pedro, Mark and Valery, many thanks! @Valery, I´ve used an APM LZOS 152/1200 limited to 120mm by a mask. My etalon is a SolarSpectrun RG32 0,3A. A full disk is a mosaic using a TZ3+0,4x reducer (both from Baader). Detailed images TZ3+0,4 reducer and close-up detailed just TZ3. Bes...
