I have been experimenting this afternoon with an old type QHY 5 in the Solar scope.

I have found by adding an IR block filter and an HA Narrow band filter to the front of the QHY 5 it reduces the brightness to enable me to use it.

 

Lunt 60mm double stacked

QHY 5

1000 frames.

Captured in Fire capture

Assembled in Registax

False colour added in PS 6

Looks good Graham. I found my qhy5 the same in the early days of the lunt, tried various things but settled on my Imgoh.

Thanks Folks.

Phil QHY 5 will be a stop gap for me as I want to get a Point Grey camera in the future.
