My second solar image and first Prominence

[assouptro]

Hi all

I am enjoying this solar imaging malarkey! It would be nice if the sun was more available though! 


 

Second attempt at imaging. The original image is larger but suffering from Newtons Rings that weren’t removed by flats.  
I have a tilt adapter but haven’t used it yet

Can I ask, how much of a tilt do you need? 

Cheers

Great photo, what kit did you use?

Hi Richard, thanks for the comment

Well.... The equipment, it's a mismatch of a few things cobbled together. 

I initially bought a Daystar solar scout 2nd hand from UKABS and then I removed the Quark, created an adapter so I could use it in other scopes. This is the Quark attached to my TS65 Quad.

The imaging camera is a Point grey Blackfly usb3 with the same chip as an asi 174 mono.
