I am glad you saw it that way. I look forward to your postings especially the observational ones.<br /><br />The green in the Solar image is due to the Baader Solar Continuum Filter that came with the wedge. One can use this or a additional Neutral Density which gives a more natural cast to the image. At the time I did not have the extra $60 US for this so I stayed with the BSC. This filter really brings out the fine detail when combined with the wedge. This was not a cheap item but the more I use it the better it gets! The wedge was purchased to aid in my outreach efforts; with the 2"format anyone can see thru it.<br /><br />Drive By Astro is begging me to send the wedge to him in NY to use on his TV101. I can put you on the waiting list but you will have to pull out your refractor (do you still have the 150?)to use it! The wedge with my CR150 @F8.5 IS THE BOMB!!!!Sidewalk Universehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095332891688108093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450988270244461662.post-10827503201408461392011-08-06T11:01:03.825-07:002011-08-06T11:01:03.825-07:00Hi SUG...
Thank you for the compliments ...:0)
H...Hi SUG...<br />Thank you for the compliments ...:0)<br /><br />Had to do a double take when I saw "SUG ATTEMPTS A PEMBS POST" :0)<br /><br />That AT106 is a beauty, and combined with that Herschel wedge, I would have difficulty dragging myself away from the eyepiece....<br /><br />I hadn't realised the wedge gave a green hue to the solar image....looks really good..<br /><br /><b>"photosphere features take on a almost 3D appearance".....</b><br /><br />... Definitely wouldn't be able to drag myself away from the eyepiece... :0)Mark Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17055762117101447189noreply@blogger.com
