First Solar WL image with EdgeHD 8

[JonHigh]

Hi All, 

Had the morning free so made use of the time and grabbed my rig leaving the ETX90 on the shelf in favour of the EdgeHD. First time using it on solar only having used the scope a handful of times since getting it!

Again using my ASI585mc Camera with a stacked solar continuum and neodymium UV/IR filter. 2min, 30ms at Gain 252 at native FL. 

Really enjoying this scope so far!

Just out of interest, is a 2 min capture long enough? 

If I choose ROI of 1920x1080 the ASI585 jumps from just under 20fps at full frame to 33fps. Still not sure if that’s fast enough? So I was thinking of using the reducer and then using ROI to get me back to native FL crop to increase frame rate. Plus I’ll be upping the f stop so faster fps? Any thoughts on that?
