CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!
Amidst the hustle and bustle encountered by the OT of the Astro convention yesterday, I managed to sneak the humble PST for solar obbing out onto the 4th floor and discovered to my astonishment a filament across the sun! You guys should see that man, but I think you would rather stay on the roof top after that. It is amazing what the PST can do. Only managed to snap a few good frames before the constant heat forced me back into air-conditioned evironment.
I managed to use my DSLR to do some prime focus photog of it. (also used a 2x barlow lens). PST mounted on alt azi tripod only.
Hi,Gary
Good work pal.Yes,that filaments-both are approx 20+ earth diameter long and had persisted for at least 3 days.Interesting right.Thats what solar obs can offer--a ever changing view,plus lots of unexpected changes.
