Re: Which camera to purchase?

Re: HR Ca K images with single/double/triple stack Ca K Alluxa filters and top seeing / 29 sept
Absolutely stunning Christian! I never got to test my Alluxa CaK setup on larger apertures this year, that's for next year now! I tried triple stacking but using a CaK PST filter, but found it didn't offer great improvement (and the usual longer exposure time). I need to focus on tuning the filters ...

Re: Which camera to purchase?
Hi Stefan
I'd recommend a camera with an imx174 or imx432 camera. The latter will give the less zoomed in view.

Saturday Sunshine 9th December
Hi All, Despite the day starting with a heavy bad of rain for several hours, by lunchtime the sky had transformed to (nearly!) blue skies.

Re: First Light CAK System 7 Dec Singapore
These are excellent Alfred, your best yet! Thanks, Mark. I am expecting much more from this setup. Need to put in more time to learn and optimise the imaging train, e.g. tilting the Alluxa filters as pointed out by Christian.
