White light 26.04
First try with my Herschel wedge , and first solar image ever.
I used a QHY5L-II-C camera , that i bought used, and it had some dirt on the sensor or glass, but i'm pleased so far.
Used a Orion 120/1000 achromat and a baader continum filter on the camera.
Late afternoon , so there was some turbulence.
Captured in Sharpcap and used Autostakkert,Registax6 and Gimp to get the finished result.
Not much compared to the other pictures in here , but i'm happy for now.[/img][/img]
But i need some recomendations for a mono camera and a uv/ir cut filter.
As it is now , i'm using a cheap uv/ir cut filter from svbony , but i would like one that might be better,as for the camera , would zwo 174/8 work?
Thanks.

Re: Whithe light 26.04
You did well on your first solar image. It closely resembles some of the ones I have done using my iPhone. And I have one of those Svbony UV-IR cut filters which screw into the camera nosepiece or into an eyepiece barrel. It seems to work ok, cheap or not.

Good first solar shot! I think i'd be tempted to get a green filter to use in conjunction with the setup you have already, that will give an improvement.

Re: Whithe light 26.04
I second Mark's comment. I use a 540nm green continuum filter by Baader Planetarium. It's a nice filter and it boosts contrast well.marktownley wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 5:45 am Good first solar shot!

Re: Whithe light 26.04
I did, it's probably Just my editing skills, or the lack of them.DeepSolar64 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 5:04 amI second Mark's comment. I use a 540nm green continuum filter by Baader Planetarium.

I didn't take any flats, and no stretcing in Gimp., so i will make some flats, an edit again
By the way, how many flats should i take, i've heard evry thing from 200 to the same amount As the actual frames from solar.
