    I pointed my 127 EQ at the sun when I was 12. I still have the picture of me outside with my telescope pointing my telescope at the sun, the fact that I still have a right eye is a miracle.

    This is how much I know about the sun. I went outside on my driveway at about 10:00 am and felt the warmth of the sun and knew I could wear shorts today. Thank You and all others that watch and study that little light in the sky.

    I've got the Bresser 127L which I use with a Herchel wedge & that works well for white light & I've got a couple of Coronado PST's one for Ha the other for Cak although getting a camera to work well on those is tricky but not impossible

  • @whatmattersmost6725
    @whatmattersmost6725 Před rokem +5

    Note: Per Daystar any scope larger than 102mm or 4"/5" should have a ERF filter on the front. I was told on the Solar CloudyNights forum that you can use a 99% Dielectric diagonal with a Ha filter threaded in front to reduce/block of the solar heat. I reached out to Daystar and they said that a 80mm to 102mm scope and smaller no need for a ERF filter, but when a 120mm/130mm and larger then the amount of heat from the Sun needs a ERF filter in front, I wished they were not so costly! Looking forward using my Daystar and my 102mm scope and the ZWO 533 camera. Thanks

    I have a question, as you know, the sun tilts 7.25 degrees, and the earth revolves around the sun after six months. Does the sun’s tilt change direction, or is it the same position? for all the year

  • @Microtonal_Cats
    @Microtonal_Cats Před rokem +5

    VERY good info. Thank you. I've been meaning to try this. And great trick of looking for the circle shadow to point the scope. I was wondering how I'd point it safely.
    I have some Badder solar film and a Optolong L-Ultimate Dual Bandpass. I know the Badder film will work, but will the Optolong work? Does it have to heat up, or did you use a special solar Ha filter that has to heat up? Thanks!
    Are you selecting / stacking video frames in Autostakkert RegiStax, or something else?
    And congrats on your helping with the M31 [OIII] emission arc. That's very cool.

    • @astrofalls
      @astrofalls  Před rokem

      all you should need for observing is the solar film, I wouldnt stack it with a narrowband filter. and stacking is all autostakkert for me!

      @@astrofalls Thanks for your answer! And to make the timelapse, do you make several short videos in the capture, or do you take photos from time to time? Then I suppose that when processing it would be necessary to do it photo by photo and then stack them all already processed and with the false color on?
