"Real Men image in White Light" (or something)?
But my *admiration* for all those engaged in this!

A solitary spot isn't doing you sufficient credit, Charl! 
And I was just reminded it was "quite hard"! I'll keep 
my out-of-focus effort hidden for now anyway. lol 

Aside: This is not just my perception only though?
Casually wondering why (at least in part) H-Alpha
imaging is "easier"? Detail hard(er) to get in WL?

No wish to hijack the thread! Doubtless obvious?
And while you're "all" around and reading posts!

thanks Chris,  ive not tryed Ha yet but i intend to get into it at some point "when funds allow" as to which is easyer or harder i havent a clue mate, HA to me seams more tecnical but thats just a guess. clear skys  charl.

I want the 2" Lunt WL wedge here soon as well for my frac. Curious about the Baader solar continiuum filter or a lunt/lumincon variable polarizing filter instead for visual details. I would probably assume the Baader SC.....

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Tyson, im very impressed with my wedge, ive a continiuum filter on the must have list, ive notice that the wedge picks out loads more detail than solar foil and that helps when your a indoor solar hunter like me.  clear skys charl.
