First Ha Light for the SolarMax60-double stack
Well, the Coronado adaptor arrived this morning. Strangely the 77mm thread fitted one of the SM60 filters very well, but not the other??
Managed, between showers and clouds to get the SolarMax60 + SM60 double stack set up and actually see the SUN.
First view showed multiple images, a quick adjustment of the front filter shifted them to the edge of the field ( 10.5 plossl) then adjusting the rear filter....... Whooooo..... the surface detail, active areas, granulation just jumps out, a little re-focus and I'm impressed!!!!!!
Also, maybe unexpectedly ( I was thinking about the reduced bandwidth) a couple of proms easily visible. Seeing was anything but steady, even these conditions show the capability of the double stack. A good satisfying first Ha light
