Andywilliams Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Hi Guys, A simple question for you. I would like to photograph solar granulation. Will I be able to capture it with either my Ed 80 or my mak cass 127 ? With the requisite white light filter of course. Plus I also have x2.5 and x 5 Barlow lenses. I have a player one mars m camera and various assorted dslr. I have tried once before with the mak cass 127 plus barlow, plus the player one mars m but I couldn’t process out any granulation. I suspect it was a little bit off in the focus and the seeing was fairly crap. I just want to know whether it can be done with these apertures. And of course, if anyone has any examples, I would love to see them. Thanks heaps in advance, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andywilliams Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 This is the best I’ve been able to do this far…… 127 mak cass , player one mars m, x2.5 Barlow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craney Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Hi Andy, I think some people have had a degree of success using a Herschel wedge and a solar continuum filter. ( safety in mind at all times of course ). The FLO page for the filter gives a good indication of the improvement it can make by itself , especially when used with a high frame rate mono camera with suitable stacking. https://www.firstlightoptics.com/solar-filters/baader-75nm-solar-continuum-filter-540nm.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
