Sol WL 05-02-18

Finally Sol has cleared the winter obstructions to give me my first image in over 3 months! Last one was on 25th October last year. The seeing was pretty good and I was greeted with a fresh AR too. Does life get any better?

125 of 400 frames with the Evostar/Lacerta Wedge/Nikon D3200. Processed the usual way with Pipp>AS!3>IMPPG>Photoshop. I wonder what creative ways I can find to present solar images this year, for now it's plain and simple.

That's right, just for me, I'm just glad somebody is paying attention to me

Hi John,  liking the detail obtained on the AR.    Is that the Lacerta's influence ??   I was thinking of buying one, how do you rate it for imaging ??

Cheers,

Sean.

Definitely. I did a side by side with Baader film last year and it's a massive difference. I've not compared to other wedges as it's the first I've owned but SGL member John Inderby bought one last year and says it's as good as the Baader cool ceramic visually, and handles heat better too. Highly recommended Sean.

Thanks John,  Lacerta certainly produce some nicely thought out kit.   I'm tempted..... oh dear !!!
