Need help for ND filter for Sol’Ex

Post by Arrakis97 »

Good morning everyone.
I am completing the setup of the configuration of my new Sol’Ex:
Optic: Tecnosky Apo 80/480
Camera: ZWO ASI 178MM, ZWO ASI 174MM
Acquisition software: SharpCap Pro, FireCapture.

Regarding the neutral filter upstream of the optics, I ask for suggestions for the degree of absorption of solar radiation necessary to avoid overexposure during the acquisition phase.
In this regard, alternatively, I am evaluating the use of a neutral filter to be positioned downstream of the 1 "1/4 fitting of the optic; also for this second solution I ask for a suggestion on the degree of absorption of the filter.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions that allow me to complete the configuration of the Sol’Ex and obtain good results.
Regards, thanks
Carlo
