Hello,

First of all, apologies for resurrecting this older post, but I thought it appropriate to post this newly processed full solar disc in the same post for comparison, as it was also taken on the same day as the DMK image, but using my Vixen 4” ED102S F9 refractor.

I used the Canon x1.4 Extender II on the 40D with the pins at the rear of the Extender taped up, so they could not make an electrical connection with the 40D and return an “Err” message.

This set up gave me an effective focal length of 1285mm at F12.6 and the solar disc nicely filled the field of view.

A full aperture Baader solar filter (OD=3.8) was used.

Cheers

Dennis
