Saturday 4/7/20 FD H-a

Post by marios i. »

Hello from Nicosia,
My observation on 4/7/20 Saturday at 07:15 local time. I'm used 40mm P.S.T. (Poor man's Solar Telescope) at 40X .Classic sketch with black pencils on white paper and here is the result.

Thanks for looking
Marios

The Coronado PST does pretty well judging by your sketches. You average a higher magnification on it than I do my SMII60. I do like it’s longer F10 focal length too.

I wonder if it’s etalon has the central obstruction that the other Coronado’s do? It seems like I read somewhere it doesn’t.

Beautiful sketches. Reminded me that that's how it started for documenting solar observation.
