Frankenscope Images and Images from Eclipse 9 Mar 16

Hi Peter,

You asked

[the last two close up views are they taken with Hydrogen Alpha also] -
Yes, they are both taken in H-A.

[Looks like requiring very large Etalon unit and tight specifications to do the job ? Are the pictures Close up view of Active region ?]

For my case, I used a Lunt 50Tha (single etalon) connected to a Celestron 150mm refractor fitted with a Baader Dielectric Energy Reduction Filter. A collimating lens ensures parallel beams from 150mm refractor to the Lunt 50 Tha.

Images taken on 2 May 16. Seeing condition was fair to poor. I hope to get better high-resolution images with better seeing condition.

Hi Alfred, wow !!! your scope should be call Hyper Mod H-A Scope instead of Frankenscope, congratulations on the successful Modification. From this scope, we can see Chromoshere Flare distinctly and all the plasma flow in 3-D view
