Ags Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I had a look at this big spot today in white light and Ha, but I think white light won. Today I was ready with all the astro software reinstalled on my fixed (?) laptop, so I took some shots with the ASI120MM, which did a rather good job I think. This is drizzled 3x, seems to work! The Ha shots were garbage with loads of Newton rings. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Smith Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) Nice shot. Was a close thing between Ca-K and white light for me but the white light view was quite spectacular. Edited May 11 by David Smith Cannot type straight! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ags Posted May 11 Author Share Posted May 11 Gotta try tomorrow with my 90 mm frac instead of the 66… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeTheNuke Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Yeah. I think white light is arguably better value, especially when spots like those turn up! How do you get on with your Solar Scout? Are you happy with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you get on with your Solar Scout? Are you happy with it? It’s fine for full disk views, but at full 60 mm aperture it is only good for viewing proms. To see the more delicate surface detail, I stop the scope down to 43 mm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
