A bit of spot spotting today 14/07/2007

[geppetto]

200mm F5 Newt Nikon D40 prime focus

Baader solar film : single frame 1/125th second ISO 200

Again proved the worth of the right angle camera viewfinder add on..

ooo... sunspots... might be the only time I get out with my scope for a few days, so i`m going to do it before the clouds come back again

(I gave in and just ordered the right angle viewer )

Nice one Phil. I had a look at this myself this morning in between the clouds but didn't bother to setup. Perhaps I should have.

[geppetto]

Frustrating dashing between clouds but beggars can't be choosers

Took another with same set up but this time with a x2 barlow to get in a bit closer

to the chain of spots... wind is a pain though.

[geppetto]

I gave in and just ordered the right angle viewer

Resistance is futile

Nice one Phil...

Granulation in the second one too.. 8)

Nice.. :sunny:

Not going to send it to any magazines are you.....Just wondering if you're going to give the rest of us a chance...

[geppetto]

Not going to send it to any magazines are you.....

[geppetto]

Ok I know I'm boring you now but just for fun

I doubled up on the barlows.

So, 200mm F5, two 2x barlows and Nikon D40.

Zero'd in on the big spot...

[Greg]

Phil..

Have you got any coloured filters....??

I've seen some interesting results using red and yellow filters..

Not something i've tried yet due to err...Lack of filters..

[geppetto]

Have you got any coloured filters

No mate but thinking of getting some for when Mars pops

up for a play

I hear S@N and AN have closed up shop on receiving images. Some nutter from Bolsover has been bombarding them apparantly.......

More spots than a teenagers face Phil. Nicely done.

Photos through my Baader solar film came out pink....why are yours beige and with granulation?

JV

[geppetto]

why are yours beige and with granulation

Just pure skill mate...

My agent won't let me pass on any trade secrets so if

I told you then I would have to kill you

[geppetto]

Uncle Hubble

[jonifive]

Right then! I'm on my way around with a big stick with a nail through it! Secrets!!! I'll beat them out of you!

Shooting through hazy clouds with my Meade LPI

And with the 350D. The haze caused Registax to go nuts on the outer halo (click on image for the larger version)
