Sun Full disc 4-Sept-2017

Post by Pegasus »

Dear Friends,

Here is todays attempt to shoot with Omega 394NB filter combined with Meade Blue CCD filter. I am not sure whats problem but i am not able to see CaK features with this setup. I am using PST by removing ERF & Blocking filter. with ASI120MM i just get full disc on sensor.

I am guessing PST etalon must be transmitting in CaK / CaH wavelengths too, so adding 10nm Passband centered on 394 might help me to give better contrast, but unfortunately that don't seems to work, so i added Meade CCD blue filter which ~ cuts at 395, but still the resultant is same.

Anyways i am getting better resolution (i guess) with 40mm PST lens. here is the results, in past i had similar result with AT66 refractor with Badder ND5.
