sun 9-24-23

#1

Post by messier 111 »

the sun through my ts 125 mm.
very nice day . 24 degrees no wind, a few scattered clouds.
there is a very big difference with the 125 compared to the 85.

I used a Svbony 7-21 zoom, I played between 21 and 12 mm.
my APM Herschel wedge is very efficient. :Astronomer1:

several groups of spots and solitary spots are part of this solar spectacle.

I hope you will like it . thx.

Une tres bon dessin mon ami! Your 125mm and wedge are a good combination with that eyepiece it seems.

Maybe not a "photo", but for me this ranks as an APOD. A quality sketch is as good and requires more effort, at least for me. And being a fellow solarhead, I'm partial to the fine details as well :D

Merci pour ca, Jean-Yves!

thank you my friend .
It’s very flattering.
I don't know if it's worth an apod, because taking photos also requires a lot of
time .
but I find it very nice of you.
thx Mark

Very nice sketch!
I do have a sketching suggestion though. You might consider to purchase a sketching -bloc at an art-supply shop.
Starting on a real blank sheet of paper is preferable to a translucent form, like you do now. Does more credit to your work!!
You can attach the sketch to your observing form.
Refractors in frequency of use : *SW Evostar 120ED F/7.5 (all round ), * Vixen 102ED F/9 (vintage), both on Vixen GPDX.
GrabnGo on Alt/AZ : *SW Startravel 102 F/5 refractor( widefield, Sun, push-to), *OMC140 Maksutov F/14.3 ( planets).
Most used Eyepieces: *Panoptic 24, *Morpheus 14, *Leica ASPH zoom, *Zeiss barlow, *Pentax XO5.
Commonly used bino's : *Jena 10X50 , * Canon 10X30 IS, *Swarovski Habicht 7X42, * Celestron 15X70, *Kasai 2.3X40
Rijswijk Public Observatory: * Astro-Physics Starfire 130 f/8, * 6 inch Newton, * C9.25, * Meade 14 inch LX600 ACF, *Lunt.
Amateur astronomer since 1970.
