White Light 15/06/2020

Post by Martin_S »

Today was a great day for my Solar Imaging. I finally finished my D.I.Y Herschel Wedge for solar imaging.
My wedge has seen quite a few modifications and has been rebuilt a few times. Now I can
do some serious imaging.
Special thanks to Ken (merlin66) and Stuart (carbon 60) for some great advice.
Here are Two Images I managed to capture before the clouds rolled in.

Hi Martin,

Nothing can beat making your own parts. The WL image of the AR looks great. Nice pictures of the setup too!!

Very nice images Martin. The spot is almost on the limb and the granulation shows up really well for a 72mm refractor. Viewing over a pool may help your seeing just a little bit too! Nice setup!

Ahh. That's why the granulation shows up so well! :)
