SHG session 221109

Post by Alun_H »

Struggled with clouds and thin haze most of the session yesterday (9th) but here are the results I got in CaK,Magnesium and Halpha with the Sol'Ex on the 72ED but this time with a Herschel wedge rather than the Hoya neutral density filter. MAIN_SER Ver 3.7 used for reconstruction and Astrosurface/PS CS2 for minimal processing,all the images are single scans.

I'm enjoying seeing your images Alun, thanks for posting them.
You've prompted me to persevere with reading about the equipment which is a tad beyond me at the moment!
Fascinating!
