+Ibbo Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Getting more detail Graham If you have a barlow try it on the spots to bring out the detail also have a go at stopping the scope down to say an inch or so Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will make up another ring and stop it down some more. I have 5x barlow but because of the extension I made for this scope I dont think I have the inward travel on the focuser to use it. Might have to rearrange the set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 or use the big achro and stop that down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 or use the big achro and stop that down Way too much hassle Steve :lol: I have Stopped it down as per instructions and can now run at 0.005 seconds instead of 0.001 This has calmed the center down a treat. Unfortunately I have a massive tree in the way now so cannot do a test run. That will have to wait until tomorrow. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+RonC Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I think it's easier with a DSLR Graham, you can x5 or x10 and concerntrate on the spots to check focus. They are you're only reference points really, not sure about CCD solar focusing like this? Hope I have not offended you Graham? Cheers Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
