HI all,
Here is my first posting on this forum of a two part montage taken with our new Lunt LS100tHa. Seeing was attrocious, but I made the best of it. Hope you like it.

Re: Limb composite from Yesterdays sun 11/19
Thanks every one! I cant wait for good seeing to return. The results so far have been tantalizing at best.

How bout a free pair of solar glasses when you join? Heh, heh....

Re: Limb composite from Yesterdays sun 11/19
Ive been sending free glasses to anyone that asks for years Chris. Thats sort of the impetus for starting the Internet Solar Astronomy Club. Ive seeded many folks around the world with wehatever equipment and supplies I have so that they can get the same thrills I do from sharing the Sun.
Id be glad to send you or anyone else as many free glasses as you will use to share the Sun, brotha'

That's a great shot Chris! You're getting some exellent images from your new scope

Re: Limb composite from Yesterdays sun 11/19
Hey Chris, very nice first light post! I had a neighbor friend come back from AIC with the Lunt 100 and she is very happy with it.
The Jet stream is effecting the Northern CA seeing also as well as the storms
Looking forward to your upcoming results.

Re: Limb composite from Yesterdays sun 11/19
Thanks Ken, Mark and Stephen. I can only imagine at this point how this scope will perform under steady skies and my mile high altitude. We have exceptional transparency up here at 5150 feet and this may help bring in the proms so much clearer.

Re: Limb composite from Yesterdays sun 11/19
Seeing will be your best friend! I am at 3100 feet and noticed that steady skies make the most differnce, maybe because the longer wavelengths we are imaging at cuts through the haze pretty well.
It is pretty weird.
Have a great Thanksgiving as I am forcing myself to do things other than Astro stuff.

Re: Limb composite from Yesterdays sun 11/19
Ken,
By far the worst seeing occurs when I put in the calcium k module, the 393 nm near UV has seeing micro ripples that are like 5x or more the white light view! So you have to choose which wavelength to shoot first as you watch the seeing slowly degade...

Re: Limb composite from Yesterdays sun 11/19
Hi Chris, your on the right path @ 5100 feet! That's X-actly what iI do to capture crisp images. However, I'm at 8300 feet (Mt Pinos). . . Isn't this Fun!
