Sun June 19, 2022 - Father's Day

Post by ffellah »

Hello all: what better thing to do than solar on Father's Day ? Lisa treated me to a royal breakfast and lunch, got a call from the kids plus I got to do solar... :D

I have not tried an Ha full disk in a very long time: I took out the SolarMax 90 SS stopped down to 70mm and tried the Apollo 432 camera with it. I also imaged the long filament: seeing was below average, so resolution is not great. I had fun though.

Seeing hampered me a bit today too. Nice images Franco. They still show nice detail.

The colourised silhouette is elegantly stunning. And the first closeup of the filament is v dynamic!
