AR3288-3285 in white light with the Mewlon 250
Hi,
The weather has been continiously very bad since February. Today, I had a short clearing between two clouds. This was the chance for a first light of the Mewlon 250 with an OIII filter.

Next try will be with the G-band filter.

Fantastic details.
I do not look at the sky with the eyes of an astronomer, but of a person looking for the beauty of nature.

Re: AR3288-3285 in white light with the Mewlon 250
WoW, Christian. This is the way the photosphere is supposed to look! Top-notch work. The granulation and spot detail is impressive. The Takahashi Mewlon 250 does VERY well. How do the Mewlons compare with Celestron's Edge HD Schmidt Cassegrains?

Thanks to all :-)
I use a full aperture Astrosolar ND 3.8 and an Astronomik OIII 12 nm filter.

Sure Aaron, the faint light bridges and the umbral dots are quite interesting.StarHugger wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2023 3:45 am Nice interrior structure or bridging, thanks for the close look!
James, finally the Mewlon is doing good. I have the "old" version. The one without the coma corrector. So the diffraction limited field is very small. Still, it appears OK considering the field covered by the ASI290.DeepSolar64 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2023 4:46 am The Takahashi Mewlon 250 does VERY well. How do the Mewlons compare with Celestron's Edge HD Schmidt Cassegrains?
Collimation stability is quite good too. This is a nice surprise since I collimated it more than one year ago.
Compared to the Celestron's EdgeHD, the Mewlon has a smaller central obstruction (about 25% vs 33%) which gives some more contrast.
Considering that the current version of the Mewlon includes a coma corrector, this is certainly a good telescope for solar imaging. Still, much more expensive than the EdgeHD OTA.
I am planning to test it in G-band (430 nm) and also Ha.

Re: AR3288-3285 in white light with the Mewlon 250
Thanks Mark ! It was a rather short clearing. Forecast for the newt five days are bad again. This has been the worst year for solar observation since the last 10 years :-(marktownley wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2023 5:26 am That looks to be working well Christian!

Re: AR3288-3285 in white light with the Mewlon 250
Superb, Christian. These are beautifully sharp and detailed images. Nothing less than expected from you The Mewlon is working well.
I hope your weather picks up soon to give you more opportunities than you’ve had over the past couple of months.

Im confident, this Mewlon sounds like a good and compact allround platform for solar images in different wavelengths.christian viladrich wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2023 8:30 amThanks Denis. I hope to confirm this with Ha observation.
But also interesting to see how well the astrosolar film works under more extreme magnifications.
