On a broiling 2 days in May

Post by gabrieli »

I setup an hour before noon for sessions on May 2 and 3 since the afternoons were forecast to warrant a heat emergency.


On May 2, I used only an LS80 double stacked with a Quark Combo on a 3X telecentric for the results below:

On May 3, I used an LS60MT double stacked with an LS60F for the 2 panel full disks and a single stacked Stellarvue 127 with a Quark for the filament.
Note that the filament looks better (to my eye) in the image taken with the LS80 above instaed of the 127 , likely due to seeing conditions.
