Solar FD images from today 25th January 2021
Nigella Bryant replied to Nigella Bryant's topic in Imaging - Solar
All my gear is second hand so 50% less of the cost. In fact my double stack 60 mm Lunt was £2,000. They cost new £5,000 + who could afford new. Also I was lucky enough to get good etchalons that compliment one another. -

Thanks Neil, appreciate your comment. -
Challenging clouds today but managed some solar data. Lunt 60DS with Zwo Asi 178mm. False colour added in PS CS2. To many clouds to take Cak with the new Cak scope. Spent two hours chasing clouds and managed the data in the last 15mins, typical. Challenging getting even illumination because of the clouds. Not the best but at least it's something.

Can you inject as car windscreens just to keep the integrity of the whole glass. Just a thought. Still have to mask off the damaged area though. -

Sorry to hear this, heart breaking. As far as I'm aware you can't just replace a corrector plate these are matched to the mirror. Has to be sent back to manufacture for repairs and usually not cost affective. Hope it's insured. -
Tonight's Aurora using Shetland webcam.

Very belated capernicus crater from November 26th.
Nigella Bryant replied to Nigella Bryant's topic in Imaging - Lunar
Thanks all, appreciate all your input. Just need some clear, steady skies, asking alot I know, lol. -
Hiya, my DS is a bit of both. The single stack is pressure tuned but the double stack is tilt turned so I'd guess you can get a better degree of overall illumination. Best to slightly over expose so that you can see where the illumination lies, is, off center or centered. Is off center tweak the tilt or even turn the camera or both. Until fairly centered.
