PST Ha Solar Test Image 4-24 Double-stack http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=3302 No proms or sunspots were available for imaging. From this test I decided that the 2.5x Powermate I am using to raise the focal plane to the camera is magnifying the image past the 40mm PST's diffraction limit. I decided to retry after ordering and receiving a 1.25x Powermate. The PST setup with counterweighting is: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=3292 http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=3295 http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=3298 - Kurt
Love the granulation. I can't wait for a big fat sunspot or prominence. -- Joe ________________________________ From: Canopus56 <canopus56@yahoo.com> To: Utah Astronomy List Serv <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Sat, April 24, 2010 5:51:37 PM Subject: [Utah-astronomy] PST Ha Solar Test Image 4-24 PST Ha Solar Test Image 4-24 Double-stack http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=3302 No proms or sunspots were available for imaging.

Yes, very nice work Kurt. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you can do with prominences and spots using your camera on the DayStar filter on the Bogdan. But probably not any time soon. There were plenty of spots and prominences until shortly after I got my PST. Then nothing... All my fault. patrick On 24 Apr 2010, at 23:30, Joe Bauman wrote:
