Re: Can you stack two tele-centric barlows?

HI Dennis,

Why are you using the sharpened feature in AS3? You are paying so much attention to detail in terms of the telecentrics and the f number the etalon see's etc but the sharpened function in As3 allows absolutely no control over outcome.

CaK Full Disk 13th April

Spring is definitely upon us here in the UK as it was pleasantly warm as I sat patiently outside on Saturday afternoon waiting for the fleeting and infrequent cloud breaks. There weren't many at all, and when the clouds did part it just revealed a milky view with higher cirrus. Not the weather at al...

Thanks Rick! These are beautiful images, nice to compare your CaH and my CaK from the same day. You should try stopping the scope down to say 70mm when you are imaging in CaH.

Re: April 13 2024. Visual Ha.

Thanks for the report JAmes, glad you got a viewing in and glad the sun is nice and busy again. I managed to get the quickest of full disks yesterday, and typically in the early evening when we had prior engagements it cleared up. Still, as I type this the subtle colours of dawn are starting to show...
