MiniSHG -H alpha scan

Post by Merlin66 »

This is a reduced size (-50%) GIF animation based on 22 images obtained with the MiniSHG on the stopped down (60mm) ED80.
9 sec SER video scan of the solar disk.
A Baader 7nm filter was used as an ERF.
It spans approximately from +1A in the red wing to -1A in the blue wing.
Enjoy.

The MiniSHG has turned out to be a fun and rewarding project.
The quality of the results is very encouraging.
