geppetto Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Set my stuff up this afternoon ready for tonight (fingers crossed).Whilst I had the 8"reflector on the EQ5 mount, I decided to fit someBaader solar film to a hole cut in the scopes dust shield.Got this of sunspot 904 using Toucam SC1.5, 20 frames RegistaxOvercooked it a bit, the computer screen was very difficult to see in the sunlight.

geppetto Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 Thanks James.Just going out to try for a better one.Very surprised at the extra resolution of my 200mm compared towhat I can get from my 130mm reflector on these spots.Good idea on the cover for the lappy...nice bit of mahogany with mother of pearl banding...
