furrysocks2 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 First go at the sun on my lunch break... DIY 8.5" f/7.6 dob, all the baader film I had left, PS3 Eye webcam and the laptop. I forget whether this is from the 640x480x75fps or 320x240x187fps capture, but this is pretty much all I got... LOTS of dust bunnies on the 1/4" sensor, more light coming in through holes in the mirror coating and elsewhere in the OTA than I was likely getting through the film, such low contrast on preview that I could barely focus, filter aperture should probably be round not square... room for improvement.

MilwaukeeLion Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Nice !, I thought I cleaned off my dust particles couple nights ago just to find they only moved to a different location. Like the set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
