First Attempt - White light

[MattJenko]

Hi daytime imagers,

I bought some post eclipse baader film for the front of my ED80 this weekend and it was a windy sunny day on the day of arrival, so insta-first light. Here is my first ever effort, using a ZWO ASI120M and a 4 panel mosaic. Not perfect by a long way, but very happy with it as a start.

Great first attempt!

Excellent 1st effort look forward to seeing some more.

Great first light Matt.  White light mosaics are very difficult to do as there is usually so little to use to assemble the panes.  It is just practise and now you have got off to a great start the next will be easier and better.

Nice first image. Good that the Sun is still fairly active so that your first one wasn't a blank disc!

Very nice first effort. The new sunspots on the eastern limb show up nicely.

Welcome to the light side Matt

Thanks all. There is something very pleasant about setting up in the daylight and casually viewing and imaging the sun which I had not appreciated. Very different pace from night-time observing and viewing.

I like it.

Nice one, Matt, a great start. Solar can be tough at times, in summer you have to drink cold drinks or eat ice cream and you have to fork out for suntan lotion and sunglasses
