back to basics - some sunnage from sunday 14 April 2013

[h0ughy (David)]

After having a nice afternoon chat with Gary Beal it was time for me to go back to basics. While i did intently try to listen to Gary, i did probably come to the conclusion i am a clutz. So its back to some basic setup and trial and error again. single stack with the lunt 60 - a composit image of a surface shot then over exposed for the proms. its not a winner but its a start. was taken at about 4:30ish before the house behind hides the sun wit ha 0.5 reducer to get the whole disk. i couldnt find my normal nosepiece.

Thanks for the chat Gary, who lives over the ditch

Pleasure Dave. Looks much better I reckon. In suggesting back to the basics, I would have even suggested "just the disk, stuff the proms", but what the heck. It's all in the tuning.
Keep at it.

I agree that looks a lot better. Better to walk first before running with the bulls I think. It took me ages to get things completely right. Experimentation is a good thing though. This is one of your nicer images of late. Gary put you straight.

Hi David
That is a great representation of the Sun - that FR looks like a good one - mine produced an uneven focus.
The prom disc looks great - so much to see there!

Mate to me that looks terrific !
I wish I would get a result like that if I ever go down this route.
