Solar white light 4th Dec

[Stardust]

I borrowed a solar wedge to try out today, quite surprised at the detail that's through in a 80mm scope. Only had a green filter to hand.

Nice effort.The wedge does work rather well. 👍🏻

Non stop rain here today so no observing for me.

Nice one David, been thinking of getting a WL wedge now the Sun is waking up.

Wow, I’m actually surprised at how much detail is revealed in white light, I’ve been curious about getting a badder wedge for my 115 frac.  I should seriously consider it seeing your image.

Very nice! I often use my 85mm for oberserving in white light.

Sunshine, one nice thing about solar is that the gear tends to get a lot of use. I use mine much more than my dob, alas, due to UK weather etc! And now is a good time to get solar gear, hopefully, with the sun early on in the solar cycle, and plenty of action to come, with any luck!

Thanks, sad part is I had a 60mm Lunt but, sold it for another scope I became enamored with which I ended up SELLING anyway cause it was just too big! now I find myself missing solar and am looking for another Lunt.

A mistake I won’t make again.
