Active region and prominences - 26 April

Post by Davidm »

Managed to get in some imaging just before the cloud rolled in. The seeing was pretty good in patches, so was able to use a 4x barlow (images 2-4) in addition to my default 3.5x barlow (1st image).

David,
Am I correct that these images are with a 6" frac + 4x barlow ?
Fantastic detail.
Can I come and live in your garden?
Best wishes,
David

Thanks all. David, yes these are taken with the LS152 and a 4x Barlow (except the first image, which used a 3.5x Barlow). Not much difference, but the 4x can sometimes pull out a touch more detail if the seeing is good. This scope can pretty much only do high-res imaging due to its sweet spot, but the sweet spot is good...
