riklaunim Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I made my first solar images last weekend. Using Baader solar film, 6" Newtonian and DMK21 for imaging. The best images was on green (RGB) filter but still focusing wasn't easy, as the views was a bit blurry (air heating up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starhunter Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 thanks... i guess your DMK made the difference... good job! i was using my 8 inch Skywatcher with the Lebeca web cam and Solar film... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riklaunim Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Did you use the Solar film for full aperture or only for the part of it? Sometimes the subaperture solution may be better (I used it on the small hole in the scope lid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
