Solar Screech
This blog contains experiences and experiments with my solar telescope. I currently own a Lunt LS50THa Hydrogen Alpha telescope and take images with an Altair GPCAM2 130M camera, dispersion prism (to remove Newton's rings) and a barlow lens element.

Nice prominence on the Sun today, not great images as they were taken through thin cloud. Lunt 50THa and GPCam2 130M.

Lunt LS50 THa & Altair GPCAM2 130M. I tried for a mosaic but Altair Capture software only took 100 frames instead of 500 for most of it so the results were no good.

After another long break with very little solar activity, I'm back. Slightly different setup now, I'm using the camera a prime focus without the dispersion prism, but with the nose piece cross threaded to create a tilt effect to remove the Newtons rings. Also just a single frame so the small blocking filter and small sweet spot is visible in the image.
