Hi,
Today 15 August 2018 Full disk. Unfortunately with the Quantum still no success but I keep working on it
I had on one mount the Coronado sun and on the other mount the Quantum and searched for the details I was seeing in the Coronado but nothing nada niente nichts ...
As usual in new tab or window for full size over 2000 px

Re: Full DIsk from 20180815
Absolutely stunning in full res
Certainly that new AR and big fluffy worm filament should be easily seen in the Quantum. You need to find the area and gradually turn up/down the heat until you start to see improved surface contrast. It takes a long time to do this but worth the time. Once you know where central line is it will be much faster to find it later (take note of the temperature). I did this experiment with the Quark and I bet it will be similar with all heated etalons https://solarnutcase.livejournal.com/12257.html

Thanks for the comment and head ups. I will need to install a second fan in order to be able to cool it down ...
I can not read the temperature anywhere on my Quantum. I just see the bandwidth.
Will keep trying but as long as I have those thin clouds I think it is a waste of time.
