Solar images July2nd 150mm refractor

[pietervdv]

Hi All,

 

Last Saturday (July 2nd) during a break in the endless stretch of clouds, I managed to drag my solarscope out in the garden.

I have only delved into solar imaging since the start of this year, being more of a deepsky imager thusfar.

The telescope is a pst mod built from a 150mm f/8 skywatcher achromat.

 

It was getting late in the afternoon when I shot these 2 mosaics between passing clouds, nevertheless I am pretty satisfied the way they turned out.

The seeing wasn't too bad either...

The camera was a DMK31.

 

Thanks for taking a look.

 

Regards,

 

Pieter

Thanks to everyone who commented, much appreciated! Hopefully we have lots of sunny days coming, because last couple of months weather has been terrible here.
