Equipment

150mm F=900 achromatic refractor with 4x zoom and Daystar H-alpha filter. Skynyx 2-2M camera and Takahashi EM200 mount.

Description

It was a beautiful summer morning in Copenhagen and the local astronomical league had set up many scopes at a beach overlooking the straight between Denmark and Sweden. The low Sun was viewed across the water and I think that this helped reduce air turbulence. There were 500-600 happy people and the mood was almost as during a total solar eclipse.
