Sun with a DSLR - 18.2.15

[malp]

I was cleaning up the mount in bright sunshine this morning so decided to have a go on the sun. Having just recently obtained Backyard EOS, I put a Canon 40D on the scope to try out focus and capture on the sun (normally I’m using a SkyNyx for this). Mightily impressed with Backyard EOS, focus and exposure evaluation on the laptop screen is simple, also surprised how much detail can be picked out on a single frame from a standard dslr - this was with a 2.5x Powermate added and consists of two frames butted together in Photoshop.

Nice work. Not easy with a dslr.

One of the best DSLR Halphas I've seen, well done :)

Very nice indeed, great job

I really liked Backyard EOS when I was doing DSO imaging, I wished I'd switched from Canon Utility much sooner.
