Hi Everyone
I have spent all day trying to get my spc900nc Philips webcam to focus on my Coronado sm40 solarmax. I have also tried using a 2x shorty Barlow Telenegative and a 0.5 focal reducer to try and get the whole disc without luck. Visually focusing is no problem, using a Meade 8-24 zoom EP. The views are stunning with this EP!
Came close once with the webcam but always seems to just fall short of any detail. I have tried sharcap, wxastrocapture and Philips vlounge software without luck. It seems like the chip wants to get closer than the focuser will allow.
Any ideas? Is anyone else having this same problem? Is this a common problem with this setup? Am I a numpty?
Anybody got any good standard settings for the above software for sun imaging with this setup?
please
Cheers
Gav
PS I have had no problems with the Meade electronic EP in achieving focus and magnificent detail with this setup.
