Thanks Steve!
I’ve had the Baader Solar Continuum filter for almost 12 months now and initially thought it was a dud! On the Vixen 4” refractor and the Celestron C9.25 (with a ToUcam) it just didn’t appear to work? I could not see any improvement to images with the filter fitted compared to images with no continuum filter fitted.
So, I was really surprised today when I used it for the very 1st time on the Tak, with a DMK camera. Not sure what made the difference?
- The seeing was certainly more rubbish today, compared to previous efforts with the other ‘scopes.
- Maybe the DMK optimises the filter advantages/characteristics, whereas the ToUcam didn’t?
- Not sure if I can put it down to the Tak optics?
- Maybe the Mewlon achieves thermal stability (open tube) better than the other 'scopes?
Anyhow, I am now a happy little vegemite and can’t wait to try it under better seeing conditions.
Cheers
