NexImage and PST

[Carlz]

Hello all,

Im new to the solar side of photography. I was wondering if anyone has photographed the sun through a PST with a neximage? I have seen photos floating around on the net with people been able to do it, but no such luck on finding information on what settings to use in AmCap... i have had a fiddle with settings, but still cant quite get the knack...

Thanks in advance :)

Carly,
I'm not familiar with the Neximage camera, but any single frame camera (ie OSC, DSLR etc) are limited by the minimum exposures and the ability to stack ( to smooth out the seeing - that's where webcams, DMK etc come into their own)
You may want to use a variable ND filter to see if you can get better exposures??

It is possible but as Ken said it's not the ideal way to go about it. I started off using a dslr but quickly became frustrated and now have a DMK but until then why not try and get the best out of the neximiage, you will learn a lot more about the whole process and your equipment if you can suss it out.

There are some settings mentioned in this CN thread if it helps.
