11th May AM - WL CAPTURES
Well at last, some very clear-skies which woke me-up earlier than usual, but knowing the thick grey stuff was on the horizon, at least I captured in all three-lights. Ha and CaK will follow in due course...
The first set here, are just single-frames using also the TeleVue 2.5X PowerMate for the individual Sun-spots in White-Light using the Lunt 1.25" Hershel Wedge. Seeing was turbulent, so no doubt the stacked versions should be better.
Better processing is in the offing, but lots to get through and the stacked captures will appear as soon as on the post...
Enjoy and thanks for looking
Terry

Nice work Terry, glad to see you finally getting some Sun hours rather than crawling about with all the cables

Re: 11th May AM - WL CAPTURES
Many thanks for the useful comments James and Eric.
I am still learning and practicing to get better, with still lots of processing to do to try and catch-up with the fab images on SolarChat.

Re: 11th May AM - WL CAPTURES
Thanks again Maurits, even though the Ha and Cak scopes are ten years old, but kept in a humidity controlled environment and the Orion ED80T-CF does have an issue of Dust inside the objective and being of Carbon-Fibre, the lens cannot be removed, so I developed a vacuum system to try and extract the debris, but even that hasn't worked.
Also there are other problems in the manufacturing-design of the ED-80, which I have rectified, but sooner or later I will change to a similar Vixen type or the William Optics Fluorostar 91 APO Triplet etc., which can serve for both Solar-WL and night sky purposes.
Cheers for now
Terry

Re: 11th May AM - WL CAPTURES
Great you got a session too Terry, at least you've posted them. My assistant refused to do all my processing and decided to go mousing instead, lol.

Re: 11th May AM - WL CAPTURES
WOW that cat scared me as I had the screen magnifier on and was about to reply to Stu when suddenly the Moggie ran-up my screen. I hope it hasn't scratched it...!!!
So how much will hubby charge to help out then Nigella ?? *!*!*!*!*!
Stu, I think the last time I did some WL-ing I had a 0.5FR in the rig, but I know I've now got three of those in the filter-case, so checking out the website, I'll see if I can get a 0.7 or 0.8FR so to get the FD. I might also look at using my other Barlows too...
The less glass in the way the better - I would have thought..
Thanks and cheers
Terry
