As usual, I captured a series of FD images through the LS80T/LS75FHa/B1800Ha solar scope and had a 1.6x barlow ahead of the ASI1600MM cam...

Re: Sun FD in H-Alpha, CaK and Continuum November 13th 2023

Hi Arne...

You have produced a set of very sharp FD images...well done :bow

The low elevation of the sun is a challenge but you made out very well.

Good day everyone... I finally caught some clear skies on Saturday night and Sunday which allowed me to do some hi-res Jupiter work in the dark hours and lots of time to work at solar prior to the Zoom meeting. The fist set of FD images were taken through the Orion EON 130 with the ASI1600MM camera....
