Come on my Sun.

[MARS1960]

Yipeee, at last i managed my first solar image.

This is a single 4000/sec shot using my 100 ED pro and canon 70D, with a bit of processing and psuedo colour in PS.

Any advice very welcome.

PS, excuse the dust bunnies, camera is being returned tomorrow.

Cracking first shot Mark, and lovely detail for a single frame.

[Pete Presland]

Not sure much advice is needed. That is a cracking first image plenty of detail showing there. Especially considering it's a single frame, looking forward to seeing many more!

Great job Mark,

Much better than my first attempt here.

I'd love to know what your optical stack was, ie what lenses, filters, reducers etc you used.

Oh yeah, a few bits of cardboard and a sheet of baader film stuck together with sticky tape, supervised by an adult for scissor work and a blue peter turorial.

But that's the thing, yours still looks almost like an H  alpha shot, whereas mine looks like a Blue Peter job with Shep the dog tripping over my tripid.

Down Shep

I think that's just down to his colouring Steve, you'll capture the faculae with a Baader filter and the surface detail when your focus is good and conditions oblige, keep at it mate.
