Got a few breaks in the cloud this afternoon.

Decided to image in CaK here

Yeah loads of interesting details. Really nice shot.

Thanks guys.

As it turns out, the little Taka is a great match with the Skynyx as the solar disk nicely fills the frame.... (the uploaded image was not cropped)

That said, a little more FL is probably worth investigating.

Terrific CaK!
I love the darkening around the limb - really makes the image leap out at you - thanks for sharing!

Nice pic Peter what set up did you use to get the whole disc?

Peter Ward · #8 06-04-2011, 09:45 PM

Ah...as per the web page. New Q FSQ106, Skynyx 2-2. Lunt CaK B1200 module.

As I mentioned earlier, the Taka at just 530mm FL matches the Skynyx 2-2 (1600x1200 pixels ) very well.
