+RonC Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Not a lot of action but liked the colour? Canon 1000d modded, 6" RC, 1/100th at ISO 800+ Filter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 just thinking off setting my 8" sct up with my canon 1100d on the back to do the same thing as you Ron, cloud keeps coming over but there are a few clear bits here and there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 It was quite pleasant in the Sun too Rob! Go for it (might not see it for a while!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eddy Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 There enough action it was brilliant in my Meg 72 yesterday, saw granulation through the Hyperion zoom and baader solar filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 managed to set up the gear but was viewing through cloud so didn`t get the cameras on it, just visual. there was a lovely big spot towards the edge. one big plus, i did manage at last to get the x box controller working with windows xp, so can now slew to targets and align easily using the eqmod adapter, was struggling as i couldn`t look through the finder and operate the eqmod controls at same time as the pc is in the corner of the obsy which was a major flaw in my plan.

+RonC Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Glad your sorted Rob, wasn't a completely wasted day then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Lovely image Ron. How much did you crop the image, as the sun nearly fills the sensor on my set up. Also, did you just take the images from the camera or use backyard eos? When i was using backyard the camera kept shutting down as i think in live view the sensor was getting too hot.

+RonC Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Just cropped the corners James and used the 5x,10x on liveview to focus. used the 6"RC as it fills the 1100d nicely and a 90' viewfinder adaptor so I wasn't blinded by looking into the Sun!!

dawson Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Thanks Ron. Did you focus on a sun spot or on the edge of the sun? I found focussing quite difficult as it all looks the same. Did your Canon shut down at all? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
