Catching some rays - Astro style!
What better way to spend a sunny spring afternoon? A spot of solar imaging whilst relaxing in the garden and enjoying the sun.
I’m using the Lunt LS50 THa B600 Solar Scope mounted on a Celestron Evolution mount and the imaging camera is an Altair GPCam V2 290M. The laptop sun shade is actually a foldaway Kalax storage box from Ikea.
Something a little different today! This is a composite image of the sun, showing the surface detail and prominences, while being photobombed by a passing plane.
The image was taken using an Altair GPCAM 290M with a 0.5x focal reducer, attached to a Lunt LS50 THa B600 solar scope. The image was captured using SharpCap Pro, pre-processed using AutoStakkert2 and Registax6, with final processing done using Photoshop CC.
