White light sun - 27 Feb

Done with the ED80 and Img132e.

And a close up of AR11682 with a 4x barlow.

Fantastic close up. The sunspots may be small at the moment, but that close up is incredible. Is that taken with your 80mm and DMK31?

Fantastic close up . Was this imaged through Baader Solar Filter? Bob

[smerral]

Thanks folks! Yes I was pleased with that close up. I used the QHY IMG132e, which I must admit seems to work great on the sun! I used a Revelation Astro 2.5x barlow with a Cemax x2 barlow lens screwed onto the adapter, effectively 4x. I t was done with Baader solar film and the only other addition was a light green filter. I stacked 500/1500 frames at low gain and there was very little noise.
