Hi All (Admin, I was not sure where to post this so please feel free to move to more appropriate forum if its not suited to this one) I needed to replace the O rings on m Lunt60 THa. Bresser (UK) sent me replacement O rings (Charged 10 euros plus 6 euros delivery - which is fair enough I guess) Howe...

Here is my first attempt at a Solar Mosaic using the Solar Mosaic Tool in Sharpcap. Shot this morning with a Lunt60 THa, QHY5III462C, Stacked and aligned in Astrosurface and made into a Mosaic (Panorama) by Afinity (V1) then re tuned in Astrosurface again to bring out detail. Gain=165, Exposure=0.52...

Hi All, 2 images taken today. (I can only post one of them for some reason??? Oh Well, just the one then :) ) QHY462C Lunt60THA PromA settings = Gain=477 Exposure=0.5165ms Close Up Settings= Gain=99 Exposure=0.5165ms Stacked in Autostacker4, Wavelets in Registax6 and final processing in Afinity Phot...

Hi, well done on your first image! My technique for flat frames when capturing solar images is to use translucent plastic over the front of the telescope to diffuse the light from the sun. One option is the plastic inner bag from a breakfast cereal packet, which is often translucent. Another is tha...

Its taken me 5 years, countless swear words, A huge amount of frustration and a boat load of dosh that I daren't tell the missus about! but I have finally managed to get a picture of a celectial object! (The Sun).......Now if only I can stay awake beyond 8.30 of an evening I might move on to the moo...

Update....... I managed a short period imaging the other day and was over the moon to actually see something resembling the sun on my Laptop! (I didn't manage to capture any images, but almost there..... ;) ) I need to work on my Focus and Fine Tuning, but am so pleased that after 5 years trying to ...

Hello, If the Ha etalon stays in place then you will have the following ... here 3 images (with my Lunt 50 mm filter) and a spectrometer: - Sun spectrum (centred to the Ha line) - Sun spectrum after placing the Lunt 50 etalon in front of the spectrometer (without blocking filter, the image a little...

Hi Everyone

Is it possible to image the Horsehead Nebula using a Lunt LS60 THa (With a ZWO 294MC Pro) if the Blocking Diagonal is removed?

Just a thought......

Thanks

Thank You

I had initial problems (also using Lunt LS60) just finding the sun, until a helpful mate told me about using the shadows cast on the front of the (black) collar on the scope. I stuck on four small pieces of paper at angles around the collar so the shadows could be seen easily. Get the scope near, u...
