+Graham Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) Had a brilliant session sun bothering today. Bit of cloud about but nothing compared to yesterday 😂 All taken with the double stacked 60mm Lunt and the Point Grey camera. False colour added in PS 6. Full Disc. Managed to get a few close ups with the 5X Barlow. Smaller of the Sunspots. Larger of the Sunspots. Solar Flare.

+RonC Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Is this a 90' angle? I saw a central spot and another at 3'oclock (RHS) earlier? +Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you view it from a static point on the Earth Ron. 😂 The camera rotates along with the RA axis exactly as it does for you when you image with your scope. The only way to keep the sun in a relative position to the Earth would be to put a rotator on the scope. Clive and +RonC 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I, like Ron perhaps, just expect to see the Suns E-W axis horizontal rather than vertical which it appears to be in the image. On a equatorial mount that would happen irrespective of what position the sun was in the sky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 I could spin the camera round 90 degrees in the holder to make it correct but that would really disturb my ocd for symmetry 😂 Mark Harper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
