Sun Full Disk and time lapse ...

Post by rsfoto »

Hi,

After fighting for a few hours on two different days for adjusting again my etalons here a Sun from yesterday with the nice big filament as well as a ~ 2 hour time lapse of it.

As usual best seen when opened in new tab or window.

Thanks Mark.

Well yes, those etalons seem to be good ...

I have a Quantum PE 0.4Å and a Quark just collecting dust. Everytime I make tests nothing comes out. I guess it was a bad purchase ... and a lot of money, ¿ maybe for nothing ?

Hi Alexandra,

Thanks. Those are two Original Coronado SM60 etalons bought back in 2008. They were specially matched by Bill Dean a former coworker of Coronado.

The advantage I have is when tuning them as I installed some stepper motors and made custom pieces to adapt them onto the tilt adjuster and so I can fine tune them while sitting in front of the monitor and see the changes.

Look at the attached images. I think I already presented this here in Solarchat.

regards Rainer

Rainer:
Very good FD mosaic and animation, not to say your etalon motorized adjustments.
Fuerte abrazo,
Eric.
