Guest Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Despite the weather, I still managed a fair bit of viewing and I was quite pleased with my photo of Melotte 20, which I uploaded to the BBC Sky at Night Hotshots collection. Here's the blog: http://sungazer127mak.blogspot.fr/2014/02/february-2014.html And here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DJiH13p4xs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman161 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I think with a Coronado PST if I remember correctly from previous posts, I think he's also written a book on the subject ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 How are you capturing your hydrogen alpha solar images? Jd To be honest, with difficulty. One of the disadvantages of the PST is that it has a limited focus travel, so not all techniques work. I used to use my wife's old compact digital camera afocally but it packed up. Shame as it was very red sensitive. I'm using a DSLR afocally instead and finding it hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Ah! That explains it. I don't know these solar scopes, but there must be a way to get the dslr at the prime-focus equivalent. Ask Ibbo. Jd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
