May be a daft question but.
Can you image the Sun through a window, I ask because, if I open our window the cat will be out, and as it is a 30' drop........
Whilst I appreciate that glass is 100% bad for quality does it affect Ha in any way, absorption etc.
PST with ZWO mono camera and 120mm triplet with baader film and baader continuum filter
Thank you

Yes, but with loss of quality but it can work in all wavelengths

Re: Can you image the Sun through a window,
That's going to depend very much on what type of glass you have and how many panes. Low E glass in particular will absorb at 656nm, how much just depends.
Transmittance curves for Low E glazing from Viracon:
Maybe consider fitting a board to the gap with a hole for the objective?

Can you lock the cat in another room for an hour?

Re: Can you image the Sun through a window,
Love that reply and it is good, no, the only window available, large enough is in the hallway. They are ferral rescue cats and have free run or they literally climb the walls.
