First Sun Image (yes you can see it in melbourne today!)
Hi,
Just trying to get a little preparation in for the Venus transit while the sun shines so to speak - in Melbourne.
This is my first post of this type so please be gentle - all constructive criticism appreciated.
Captured using a Lunt LS60Ha, and a Point Grey Mono Chameleon using a c-type 0.5 reducer to get the attached FOV. Tracked manually on an Alt-Az mount.
Stacked using AutoStakkert!, and colourised and adjusted using Adobe CS4 (my skills in which are quite limited!).
It was a learning experience, largely using camera defaults (over exposed in the core), and I did an average job of focusing etc - but i'm happy with the overall image for a starting point.
Enjoy.
Jamie
