The clouds stayed away long enough this morning for me to have a proper go with the old 4" F15 achro and Lunt wedge combination.


 


Even though there wasn't a cloud around at the time the image was swimming so I reckon I have overcooked the processing a bit. I may have another go sometime but Im quite pleasedso far as it shows what this old scope can do.


Scope = Fullerscopes 4" F15 Deluxe refractor with Lunt Solar wedge fitted with ND and Polarising filter plus IR cut this time to try and sharpen things up a little more


Camera QHY IMGOH mono, best 3000 frames from 6000.


Processed with PIPP, AS2 and Registax. False colour applied in PS7


 


Cheers

Thanks Steve, im impresed with the image scale of the f15 but at that mag it also magnifies atmospherics. I was surprised to find the IR cut filter made so much difference though, sharpened things up alot.
