Peter
was this taken at prime focus on your AP155 or were you using a reducer?

thanks

Thanks guys.... FYI AP155 at its native F7 focus.

Finally got a 2" reducer for the STX16803....will be interesting to see how the solar disk goes at a glacial frame rate, but much larger scale using SBIG's planet-master mode.

Love the prominence work. Cloudy here at present but I think being double stacked I miss out on the really cool prominences.

So this was a mosaic?!

I was playing with CCDCalc to see what a Skynx 2-2 would frame with an FSQ106, so when I popped in the AP155 for comparison purposes, it only covered about 2/3rds of the Sun?

cheers

Yes. A mosaic!

You should however get a full solar frame with the FSQ and Skynyx 2-2....which is what I used to capture the ISS a while back.

Always a pleasure to see your images.
Something to aspire to.
How do you blend the images to form the mosaic?
It is perfect!
