23-3-2021 PANASONIC DMC-G2 & Baader Solar-Film

[EGRAY_OBSERVATORY]

Oh well, I had to try-out my camera to see what happens with just a Solar-film attachment.

Not as good as NASA's SDO Satellite images, but wait until the camera is attached to the ETX-125 and its' Orion glass-Solar filter etc..

The good thing though is; it's Sunny and warmer than of late...

Terry,
It's nice to see you doing some imaging!!!

James

[EGRAY_OBSERVATORY]

Thank you James.
Other than a quick session with the DMC-G2 today because the clouds have allowed, I've still got more to do with the R2 Imaging System and the ETX-125 and I'm sure the Lunt Ha, Cal-K & the Orion ED80/WL is requiring my attention again back in the EGRAY-Observatory - now the weather has decided to "warm-up" somewhat... (nearly 5-months since my last Tri-scope imaging there)...

Terry

[DeepSolar64]

You are welcome Terry.

And I am clouded out today under a uniformly overcast cloud deck.

[EGRAY_OBSERVATORY]

Oh dear James, well I guess all one can do under those circumstances - is be patient as things will improve and allow for some more of your excellent imaging and of course those all important reports.

Cheers

Thanks for the pickies and update Terry! I hope you get to use the tri-rig soon. I hope things warm up sharpish too!

[EGRAY_OBSERVATORY]

Yes Mark, it would be well-nice to start tri-scope imaging again soon after this long break, as have lots of things to try out to make improvements from last Novembers' sessions. The cataracts are a problem which is being delayed for a couple of months due to another more serious problem.

And check out SolarChat, Helioviewer and SDO and GONG too. With the internet one can always see through the clouds!!

[EGRAY_OBSERVATORY]

Yes of course James and I will continue to do just that as in the past years too.

One of the better uses of the internet for us to survey - when the pesky weather prevents the MK1 Eyeball and our scopes etc., from doing what they were made for...

Cheers

That's a great start to the year! at least there were some spots to see in WL

Terry:
Nice images, hope you soon will be imaging with the 3 rig setup.
Best wishes.
Eric.

[EGRAY_OBSERVATORY]

Many thanks Eric for the thoughts and yes hopefully will be able to do some decent-imaging soon - compared to the attempts with the DMC-G2 cam.

Regards
Terry
