Canon 40D shooting avi @ prime focus Losmandy G-11 mounted in a Skyshed POD.DescriptionWe finally got a clear afternoon after a week of snowfall. Seeing was excellent and a series of prominences were arranged on the solar limb for our viewing pleasure. I shot 1500 frames for each half of the image, stacked in Registax 6 and processed the best 25%. Then I stitched the halves together and colorized in Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 |

PhotographerWill DavisLocationTucson, ArizonaDate02:18 P.M. MST, 01-03-2012.EquipmentMeade Saturn DS114EC newtonian reflector, fitted with an Orion 5.81" full aperture solar glass filter, and a Meade 40mm super plössl, taken with a Olympus C-750 UZ. 1/500 second, at f/3.5, ISO 50.DescriptionMy first solar observation to start 2012. Received the filter as a gift, and it has made solar observation a real fun hobby after using the projection method for some time before. The seeing was quite less than perfect, lots of wispy clouds all over the sky, (none in front of the Sun), and much haze was present as well, the camera managed to capture the actual color that the filter provides, even though it wasn't visible to the eye, due to the poor conditions. |
