Solar surfer

Hi

Rod came over. I had to go and fetch my car whilst he was playing with the Baader TZ-2 and Quark Chromo on the 90mm Triplet.

When I came back he had this on view. Surge prom at 3.30 looked to me like a surfer with the front of his board sticking up.

In the meantime he had raided my Astro crystal cabinette for a polariser filter and one of my cheap Chinese filters I use as 20mm stops to add to the Celestron 40mm Symmetric. He said I had reflections off the screws holding the etalon in place.

I did have a play with the Rumak180. Went back to plain PST Mod2 and the bino-viewers. Despite the sweet spot I do get the best contrasty views of the surface. My friends on CN are right about solar views being very good in bino-viewers. Thanks to Rod for setting a ebay bargain up for me.

Rod said my Chromo is quiet good so must set about imaging.

Cheers. Andrew.
