Sun in Ha - 13-06-2023

Here are some attempts at the Sun with a Lunt LS50THa and Chameleon3 this morning. I used a 2.5x PowerMate for the close-ups, with the Televue adapter which arrived from FLO in good time this morning. I was using another adapter before and these shots with the new adapter seem to be sharper / clearer. Perhaps the spacing is better for the PowerMate now?

I experimented with full disk flats and failed miserably! The full disk shot has an ugly highlight as a result. Apparently a cereal bag placed away from the objective is the way forwards - I will try that tomorrow. Does anyone have any advice and photos of the set up for whole disk flats, please?

 

 

 

 

 

For comparison, here's a close up from yesterday, using the old adapter:

 

Enjoy the sunny skies!

Cracking images!

I'm struggling with full disk flats too, I'll be following your thread to see what the advice is.
