sun2010 8 26 1730a Surface detail visible using the Baader Solar Continuum Filter
Specman commented on Specman's gallery image in Member's Album
As you can see, the Baader Solar Continuum Filter has brought out at least 10 active surface features in this image alone. In RAW mode, full size I was amazed at the extra detail over simple white light. These images were of course shot also through the Baader Solar Film over the objective lens of the telescope. -

Picture taken 26/08/2010 @ 17:30 After enjoying an earlier session in the month viewing the sun I decided to purchase a solar finder and solar shield from Scope n Skies and a Baader Solar Continuum Filter from Sherwoods. I dashed outside yesterday, first chance I had, and was set up and stripped down within the hour! I grabbed three great shots through the new Solar Continuum filter and it wasn't until I downloaded them as raw images to the pc, that I could see all the extra detail over a simple white light shot. There is at least 8 features in the above image alone! This time I used eyepiece projection to take the pictures and mounted my Canon 1000D to my 32mm Revelation Photo/Visual EP using the Canon T-Ring. I set the camera to Bulb mode and ISO 100. I find focus is to be the biggest problem and I used a bracketing technique on one of the dark sunspots. I use a remote shutter release as standard. -
5th August 2010 15:30 BST This image of the sun is the first taken with my Canon 1000D (1/200 ISO200), NexStar 4SE, Baader Solar Filter. The camera body was mounted using a T piece adaptor, shooting through the scope. This image has been mirror flipped for correct orientation. Four sunspots are clearly visible.
