Hi Mike
I think they are a result of using the Baader 3.8 photographic film as it forces the exposure up around the 1/250 to 1/1000 sec setting depending on the ‘scope/Barlow/solar film configuration used. I pulled the x2.5 Powermate out and tried prime focus and had the ToUcam above 1/5000 sec to cut down the incident light, and the lines were quite dramatic then.
If I fit the Baader 5.0 visual film, the exposure drops to 1/50 but the frames are also more blurred due to the lack of freezing. The exposure steps in the ToUcam are a bit limiting, with huge jumps between steps.
I'm gradually coming to an end of my ToUcam journey, but not too sure when to jump and what into. I'm torn between the DMK and waiting to see what Paolo's offering will be in December.
Cheers
Dennis
