Feb 9th Sun in Ca-H

#1

Post by StarHugger »


Greetings!

Caught some rays just in time as the ground fog cleared and the overhead cloud rolled on in...

I opened the windows at 10am suspecting a brief possibility and one pass across the sensor was granted at 10:52am, the seeing was of course horrible and the take was 4% of 6,347 at 4ms with the baader wedge and Ed70.


Cool though the homebrew filter stack is now getting 4ms frames at f6, another milestone for its testing and now I just need more than a minute with my target 😆 to begin actually using it!

Best of Weekends and Clear Skies Everyone!

An image from my early days of wave tinkering only last year, playing all the cheap filters I had lying about from night astro and even running them all Ir and Uv Open or everyway I could think of,

They are now all tucked in thier own filter cells or I should say threaded into camera t adapters to 1.25, makes the neutral density work easy and cheap. Plug and play...

Nice we both caught yesterday, too bad for today...
