Solar 03/29/2016
This was taken through the Astro-Physics 130mm refractor using a Lunt Herschel wedge and an Imaging Source video camera. The Lunt wedge produces a white light image which was converted to something resembling an H-Alpha reddish tone. I have never tried this configuration before and was a little surprised at the amount of detail inContinue reading “Solar 03/29/2016”

Sunspots 03/25/2016
As in the other solar photo taken today, this was taken through the Lunt 80mm solar scope in “double stack” mode for enhanced definition. In this case 2000 images were stacked to form the final image.
Solar 03/25/2016
This was taken with the Lunt 80mm solar telescope in its “double stack” mode. In this mode you are able to obtain images with a bit more definition. A thousand images were stacked to form the final image. The line in the photo is most likely a solar filament of cooler material on the surface.Continue reading “Solar 03/25/2016”
Seagull Nebula – Three Panel Mosaic -Version 2
This nebula is now setting much earlier. I still need a little more imaging in the upper portion. Hopefully the next few days will offer an opportunity to complete the H-Alpha portion of this project. So far the total imaging time is about 15.5 hours. It looks like a color version will have to waitContinue reading “Seagull Nebula – Three Panel Mosaic -Version 2”
