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.

After 8 months without using my Lunt due to a divorce and house move, a set of full disk images (3x2 mosaic).

2017-10-08 Nice Prom

Clear blue skies until the Sun got high enough over houses to image and then BANG cloud appeared from nowhere.  However during a brief break I managed to capture a nice prom. Nothing much on the disk today.
