Done. Glad to support this.

Hi Laszlo Good to see that the scope is taking shape. I think it is definitely an interesting design having the chance to take control of different components of telescope seeing - an issue which is hard to overcome with current commercial SCTs. Christian's solar newton in commercial... Of course se...

LauraMS

Nice idea - reminds me about the Gryzbowski-Collimator http://www.astropictures.de/Kollimator.htm (sorry, in German).
I have one of those but rarely used in practice.

If one stripes the mirror there's not enough light for Halpha. It would be like having a Baader film in front of an Halpha scope.

Quick recovery, Petr! Outstanding imaging and Telescopes!

LauraMS

Light passes through both - 9000 and 12000 m - layers. Take the worst. That will be the 12000 m layer because that is where you have the Jetstream.

LauraMS

You can check Jetstream using the 250mbar level, either at Meteoblue or here: https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/250hPa/ The position of the Jetstream is highly variable and sometimes changes within a few hours (at least here in central Europe). Jetstream does not mean that you don'...

Shure, Charles, contact me anytime. But don't forget the helpful people here... Baader Film comes with a mount, no problem. But don't forget that myb broadband images were done with almost double the aperture compared to a C6... If you would want to try the Halpha route, you will need to have somebo...

LauraMS

On a SCT, you must not use a Herschel wedge because the full heat concentrates on the secondary mirror and may also get into contact with the central light baffle at the main mirror, potentially causing damage. For broadband ("white light") a front mounted Baader film (ND =5 got visual, ND...

License is no more limited to three cameras in Genika Astro. But you can use FireCapture as well, works with Basler.

LauraMS

Genika Astro definitely works with Basler ... (at least the IMX174)

LauraMS

Firecapture does, if I remember correctly ...

LauraMS

Yes, that is the same collaboration. No problem from my side if others will report !

Best, Laura

LauraMS

Hello, usually I forget about these meetings but today it may be feasible. I participated in the ProAm collaboration. In general the first run has ended, but it appears not to be excluded that there will be another in the future. If there is interest in it I can tell a bit about the general idea, an...

Fantastic animation, and congratulation to SPOD!

LauraMS

Thanks Pedro and Warren!

LauraMS

Very nice resolutiin

LauraMS

Very nice penumbra detail - well done!

LauraMS

Thanks all, also for SPOD - that's very kind!

Unfortunately, today was very tough - lots of clouds, not a single video without any ...

Best wishes,
Laura

LauraMS

Thanks Chris and Alexandra!

I also have registered and received response. Moreover, main communication channel will be on slack, as it appears.

I won't be imaging for the next week or so, though.

LauraMS

Hi Alex, outstanding images - St. Veran is a great place for high res imaging as soon as the weather cooperates. Is this the mirror with direct ERF coating, or your solution from last year with the ERF in front of the secondary? Good luck for you and all others for your second week in St. Veran! Bes...

LauraMS

Great images, Alex

LauraMS

Outstanding sequence, Simon!

LauraMS

Fantastic observation and images, Eric

LauraMS

Dave, did you zoom-in into the original (raw image/video) if you see that structure there as well. I wouldn't think so.

LauraMS

Dave, this looks like an aliasing artifact - if you downsample an image with regular structure to a smaller image size. I observe this when looking at zoomed images from 20Mpix files from my DSLR (I think also from my Qhy268c camera). If you look at your original images without zooming, do you see t...

LauraMS

Hi Magnus, I completely understand your issues - it also took me some time before I had the extensions, focuser position +/- diagonal right. Also the problem with finding the sun... Key really was to look at the solar limb. There you see if you are completely wrong with focuser position, or near. If...

LauraMS

Very impressive, Alessandro!

LauraMS

Impressive images, Simon!

LauraMS

Hello Magnus, I also agree that it probably is the amount of backfokus. With my Bresser 152/1200 I need 2.5 additional extensions (each 40mm if I remember correctly) to reach fokus: https://solarchatforum.com/download/file.php?mode=view&id=69775 With the diagonal it should be easier because it c...

Great videos!

Thanks for selecting as today's SPoD - Really a pleasure and honor!

I had some luck today to observe a small flare in AR13046 using my Bresser 152 refractor with Daystar Quark and Baader DERF: https://solarchatforum.com/download/file.php?mode=view&id=69486&sid=04b472760cb5ed21f9ee844c8db670d0 Here the video of the event. I saw the flare when it already had s...

Congratulations, well deserved!

LauraMS

Hi Nic,

thanks

Best, Laura

LauraMS

thanks, Richard!

LauraMS

Great images! The TS appears to be doing well, even at CaK.

LauraMS

Thanks, Ivan!

Interesting that you like the second image better. I prefer the first one but I have to admit that at the image scaling here on SC the first one is a bit crowded. One needs to see it on the full screen.

LauraMS

very esthetic coloured images!

LauraMS

Thanks all for your kind words!

@Mark: DERF is ordered, should be here soon. Occasionally I use the Astronomik, mostly the Baader 35nm.

LauraMS

I haven't been so active recently on Solarchat, but today some images obtained after work using my mid-res Halpha setup (Bresser 6inch f/8 refractor, Astronomik L2 subaperture ERF, Quark Chromosphere, Baader Compressor 0.7x, Basler IMX174mono, sampling 0.34arcsec/px, SSM): Whole area of active regio...
