Alexandra

yes, it really does look like a comet. Or Helios on his fiery chariot as pulled by the quadriga

Thank you for your kind comments,

It's a great picture.
I'm curious about your equipment specification.
Mirror, second mirror brand name, etc.

[eroel]

Superb images.
Thanks László.

Hi László,

Super work here !
Did you use a Solar wedge to do this, as I did not know Reflectors were suitable for solar work.

Many thanks.

Hi Magnus,

Yes they are. I have an uncoated 12" mirror, that acts like a Herschell Prism, reflects 4% percent of the sunlight. I don't need any additional ERF filters, only bandfilters, like Baader Solar Continuum, or Ca-K... This is the most suitable solution for high resolution WL solar imaging.

And Laszlo, you and a handful of others here have proved how good solar reflectors can be!

Hi,

It is a custom made newtonian telescope, design by me, after consultations with couple of astrophotographers like Christian Viladrich.
It is manufactured by friend of mine (amateur astronomer as well), who has his own small automobile-component manufacturing plant, with CNC- and electro discharge machines. He did a quite nice job.
Main mirror is a fused silica 303/1200 without coating, acts like a Herschel wedge.
Seconady is Antares Lambda/20 with coating.
The net weight of the OTA is about 13,3 kg with the carbon frame.
I can ask the manufacturer how about reproduction of the telescope.

WOW.. Great pictures and excellently processed.

[Radon86]

Amazing engineering and technical ingenuity. Surely one of humanity greater achievements!

I really need to make me one of these scopes, I feel like im missing out! So jealous!!

Simon, I would love to see what you could do with one. You are an excellent solar imager.

Thank you, Lazlo
I sent you a PM.

Really fine detail, I do like to see granulation
