Fridays Calcium Sun - 27th October

Post by marktownley »

Sunny(ish!) skies this morning, I knew the forecast of wall to wall sunshine was always going to be optimistic :D Still, got the lil' 40mm scope out on the Manfrotto camera tripod and with the home brew CaK filter and PGR Chameleon 3 grabbed a few images, first off the full disk at ~560mm focal length, then the close ups with the 2x barlow, not sure of the exact focal length, but pleased I got something as the view raced across the laptop screen on the non tracking tripod.

Apologies the fov isn't orientated correctly on the close views, it's always a challenge doing this on a camera tripod. Just pleased to have got some sun to be honest! Now, to take the olds out for spot of lunch...
