Ha Full disc with Solarscope SF-100 6th Nov 2011

Post by Montana »

Just thought I would share my full disc shot which is a composite of around 9 pictures taken with my new SF-100. Sadly I missed a bit.

Alexandria, you had your new filter all of 5 min. and are turning out pictures like that. Incredible, that black and white picture of yours is stunning. I hope someone has one of those solarscope filters of yours at NEAF this year. The filter sure works well for pictures, how is it visually?

Thank you all so much :)

Pedro you have some stunning images! I can't imagine doing all the proms as well, I couldn't even complete a disc properly!

Bill, visually, I don't know. I spent about an hour and half getting quite frustrated at the eyepiece. It turns out I was looking at a reflection and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get this imposter to focus :( I need to try again.
