Solar on Oct. 2nd. Test new Apollo-M MAX (IMX432) cam
Two sunspotgroup on the Sun. Very beautiful. Whitel light images are taken with ES127CF APO
A big prominence on the edge.This is taken with 80mm Ha solar scope.
All thoes images was used with new Apollo-M MAX (IMX432) mono camera ( made by Player One Astronomy)
White light (full disk): Exp=0.42ms, Gain=0. White light with 5X barlow: Exp=2ms, Gain=151. Only Prominence : Exp=35ms, Gain=148. Prominence and surface : Exp=5ms, Gain=148. Record 2000 frames, 30% stacked.
Apollo-M MAX (IMX432) mono camera has 100Ke full well, even on gain=148, still has 18.7Ke full well. this gives better exposure latitude in real imaging.
All gear used:
Telescope: ES127CF APO and 80mm Ha solar scope + TV5X
Mount: SW AZEQ6 GT
Camera: Apollo-M MAX (IMX432)
Softwares: Autostakkert!3, AstraImage 5, Photoshop CC.

Hi Alexandra, many thanks. I learned from videos about solar color adjustment, still looking for some way to improve it.

Thank you,Robert. I believe this cam will has a lot potential in solar imaging. First of all, in a lot of testing, this cam don't have banding issues.
