Guest Ewan Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Going through a few of my better solar captures from 2016 - 2017 & thought I would post them here as not much imaging happening with the weather I am having here. Hope I am not posting too many just thought you may enjoy seeing what a Quark Chromosphere can achieve. My set up is :- Mount AZEQ6-GT, TecnoSky 152mm Achro F5.9, Baader 135mm D-ERF, Grasshopper 3 IMX174 & Quark Chromosphere. Atb Ewan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Excellent stuff Ewan. Are you sure you're not pinching these off some international solar observatory website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you're not pinching these off some international solar observatory website? Yes I'm sure ;-), I did catch some new data over the last couple of days but the JS & haze put paid to anything of any worth so won't post them up. Shame but maybe the next few days may deliver something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Awesome stuff Ewan. Some of the best solar images i have seen. It begs the question : why spend several thousand pounds on a dedicated HA Solar scope when you can get results as good as this with a more modest set-up ? I was also wondering if you did any imaging during the Mercury transit last year or when we had the solar eclipse the year before ? Please share if so !!

Guest Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 No question it is better than a PST and only a but more expensive. Post away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the kind comments Rob, yes I have wondered the same thing about solarscopes myself which is why I opted for the Quark. I like the fact you can swap it around with other scopes from a little 60mm to a C14 & bigger. I am going to see how the 152mm performs on Ha nebula as well, should claw those photons in I would have thought. Never caught any eclipse or transits yet but I guess I have a few years yet ;-) Atb Ewan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
