Using a DS ED80, that is Lunt
LS75 with PST etalon at the back end and a Lunt B1200 blocking filter. It captures the prominence and surface as Mark Townley has been posting. I do like that!

Re: Filaprom 22nd Nov
So, its a80mm ED refractor with internal 20mm PST etalon and a Lunt B1200 BF? Whatever it is, the image is superb!

Re: Filaprom 22nd Nov
Robert, that's an amazing filaprom, you can really see how a filament becomes a prominence on the limb. Very well captured!

Re: Filaprom 22nd Nov
Lovely Robert! B)
People always (generally!) say that imaging filaproms / proms is best done with a single etalon, but this just shows that double stacking really does have it's place when it comes to this... Glad you've got this technique sussed, to me it looks alot more natural than the shots with the proms superimposed on the disk...

Re: Filaprom 22nd Nov
Yes Stephen, LS75 on the end of ED80 then a PST etalon and then a Lunt B1200 and DMK31AF
Good to be able to admit it! Had to cut 5cm off the tube to get focus....
