Pete Presland Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 (edited) Plenty of activity over weekend still, the conditions even allowed the C9.25 to produce some decent images The usual C9.25, homemade 200mm Baader filter, x3 Barlow, asi174mm, Continuum filter , 60 sec SER file. Stacked in A/S, sharpened in REG6, some nice details visible. Edited August 27 by Pete Presland 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kon Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Very nice details. Do you find the Continuum to be better than an IR pass? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it goes I am intending to do a comparison between them my next proper solar session. I feel that the Baader Solar Continuum Filter will win out over an IR Pass. I have already compared the 10nm against the newer 7.5nm Continuum Filter and found the 7.5nm to come out on top both in imaging as well as visually. The difference is small so if I already owned a 10nm I wouldn't rush out to upgrade it to a 7.5nm. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altocumulus Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I, actually, use both on my few WL images...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am struggling to find Baader film for full 12" aperture at the moment. I can use the offset but I have seen some stunning images from a friend of mine who is using his full 16" . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a roll, but the remnants probably won't be enough for a 12 inch - though I can have a look... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do prefer the Continuum filter, the extra aperture here is the game changer for me compared to my usual 120mm evostar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with the C9.25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
