Guest Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I caught this yesterday lunchtime but only got round to processing it this afternoon. Usual method with a DSLR and filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had I not been on a lunch break and having to work in the afternoon, I would have used my Mak and Coronado PST. However, I have found a DSLR and Baader filter is a good grab-and-go method. Imaging at 300mm focal length is quite hard and I probably have as many fails as successes. The key is to take lots of exposures at slightly different focus settings and hope one comes out just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 This filter what is it. Your image is in colour so it is not a normal white light film ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a home-made filter made from Baader film. I used just the green channel and added a little false colour for artistic effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
