International Sunday RASC Edmonton CBSAP, June 26

Post by T McVicar »

I was out all day for International Sunday, helping a RASC Edmonton member with his set up. He was representing the CBSAP project and I brought down my Lunt and mount to assist and show people the sun. He had a SV90 with WL daigonal, and AR127 w/ quark (which wasn't working properly so my Lunt LS50THa took its place), and his LS80.

Meeting like minded solar imagers in my city is also awesome. That LS80 is a phenomenal scope with the views to match.

I didn't have much time to image, as I was showing people and such.

I tried to bag some images in at the end, but for some reason I had mount problems (synscans link not found stand alone mode) and a very patience gf waiting for me throughout the day who wanted to leave.

When my mount finally worked, I simply couldn't figure out why I was so overexposed even with lowest exposure/gain, it appear I had the wrong setting on FC for exposure range when my friend was playing with my settings.

Anyhow, hope you all got some sun!
