high resolution Solar images. 25.08.2024

[Pete Presland]

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.

Very nice details. Do you find the Continuum to be better than an IR pass?

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.

I, actually, use both on my few WL images......

Thanks Ian. Looking forward to the comparison. 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" .

Unfortunately it's unavailable. I can't source it from anywhere in UK or Europe for the last couple of months.

Ah.

I have a roll, but the remnants probably won't be enough for a 12 inch - though I can have a look...

I do prefer the Continuum filter, the extra aperture here is the game changer for me compared to my usual 120mm evostar.

I have just purchased the 7nm Filter,  looking forward to comparing the two Filters.

Especially with the C9.25

Very good set 😎
