Sun UK 10 June WL

Post by Roblane »

Here is my first use of a G-band filter with the lunt Herschel wedge on a SW 80ED and Player One Apollo Mini. Quite an increase in contrast over the Continuum filter. Seeing was poor. Imaging over hot shed and house roofs isn't ideal

Nice one Rob. The filter certainly helps bring out the faculae contrast.

It does! That's one of the best things about a Gband filter.
