Around the sun's edge on August 5

Post by gabrieli »

With seeing going from bad to worse, I recorded 10 files and culled the following from the bunch.I used a setup I had used only once before with a 0.63 reducer right outside the scope. I know that this presents the telecentric with a less than ideal f/6.3 beam, it seems to work.

Hi Lou...

Good set of images despite the conditions. The long focal lengths need a lot of patience to get usable results (at least in this part of the world) ;)
