Sunspot 2529 - Lunt 50 and AltAir 115

[Guest]

I've been having problems getting decent .avi's with my C8 SCT so i decided to try the Sun in white light with my refractor - the results were much better (stable) and processed in detail well in Registax 6

Hopefully I can take some more test shots tonight of the Moon - the results I was getting from the C8 were blurry (focus was fine) as if there was really bad seeing - but it didn't seem that bad visually?

While I was out there I imaged 2529 with the Lunt 50 too. A few notes here.

Lovely images David, I've just swung the refractor round to the Moon now the Sun's too low.

Thanks Paul and Dave - I just had another attempt at one of the shots I took with the SCT that I thought was hopelessly distorted - turned out I just needed to be a bit more aggressive with the wavelets :-)

Doesn't explain the Moon images though which were like looking at a 3d picture without the glasses :-)

Like you Dave I'm just about to get ready to image the Moon - surprising what you can capture of it in the daylight.

Very nice set, the first white light is full of detail.  The seeing was most likely the problem for you C8, but it is still a good image.

A good suite of images there David.

Thanks guys - I think you're right Robin - it looked like there was great detail in between the turbulence but not enough I guess.

Very nice result. I am also trying to get more detail out of the SCT. Still struggling
