White light Solar from Brisbane 2nd Jan 2013

Hello,

Well, I braved the 34º C heat wave and set up in the back garden to re-acquaint myself with solar photography using a DMK31 and full aperture Baader astro solar film filter (density 3.8 for photography).

I also took a full disc shot with the 5D Mk III using the x0.8 Reducer/Corrector to flatten the field of the Tak Mewlon 180 F12.

Whilst the seeing was good, it did not seem to live up to the expectations I had from viewing the jet stream map for Brisbane.

The DMK31 shots were taken with the Tak x1.6 Extender.

Cheers

Dennis
