I just posted three images from todays imaging session. They show the active reagion and sunspots and some of the many thin prominences that I saw today. I...
The dark feature of the Sun that you see is fillaments . When it is at the edge it is called a Prominance . They are the same just where they are on the Sun...

Beautiful view on the bottom of the Lunt solar view. Big prominence and nice view of sunspot 1007. using TH60 Ha. Sunday 16”05 UTC. The sunspot is near...
Jozef, I made an image of this and put it in my Photos Album "Jim Smith". ... and nice view of sunspot 1007. using TH60 Ha. Sunday 16"05 UTC. The sunspot is...
Very interesting. What I saw with my eye was much more detailed. And the sunspot group at one point became very large with many filaments. The prominence...
Jozef, Some people can get wonderful images that show a lot of those things but not me. I, too, can see much more than I can image. I have tried a lot of...
I am at 1,110 feet above sea level. The solar observing temperature on my deck in rural Vermont was 36 degrees F and it didn’t get above 45 today. Right...
Jozef, For me, it isn't that frustrating because I have been a photographer of one kind or another most of my life. Getting a perfect print never has been...
Jim: I have an Olympus 2100 Ultra Zoom camera. It has 3x optical and 10x digital zoom. Many years ago I dabbled in photography. A T-adapter for the Lunt may...
Jozef, I gave up on using a SLR camera with a telescope a long time ago. It might work well with the solar stuff but it is too heavy to hang on the diagonal....
Hi Carol, We are going to start shipping the LS35THa in mid to late November. Depending who you order thru and when they placed their orders may change you...
Hello everyone... I have posted a full disk image taken yesterday morning (in the Maple Ridge folder). Nice to see some activity on the sun for a change. Same...
Hi Jim... I have been busy with work, and not had a chance to follow-up on your comment about trying to image from the countryside with hopes of getting better...
Just pushing again for some more info on the LS200. It sounds as if the LS35 is going to beat the LS200 into the market though it was announced many months...
Brian, I have not had a chance to do that yet. Maybe today. I think that the time of day could be the biggest problem. Next time out will be in mid-afternoon...
Hi Jim... I saw the image you posted with the DSI...it looked quite good. It also has a wider field of view than the ToUcam which doesn't hurt either. How...
Jozef: You could also try using a dedicated astronomy camera from a company like the imaging source. These cameras range in price from $350 to about a thousand...
Thanks much. I am thinking about doing just that for my PC. Jozef ... From: luntsolar@yahoogroups.com [mailto:luntsolar@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of John...
Hi Jozef, It's not the diagonal that gives the problem, but the focusser. I hang a JMI NGFS and nikon D70 body on the Lunt diagonal without any problem (just...
Brian, That is one of the problems. It wasn't designed for solar imaging. You either set it on Moon, or terrestrial, or some other mode and just let it do its...
Have to agree. I've been asking politely for months for observational reports from a prototype. Was told they would be shipping in November, yet no one at...
I came home early today to give my just-arrived double-stacked 60mm a quick tryout on the last sunny day we're expecting for the next week or so. I've had a...
Unfortunately I don't have or use a Lunt double stack, but I do have experience with a 40mm system. The trick is, in my experience, the get the band widths to...
These were made with the LS60T Ha DS scope using three different camera: Philips SPC900NC, Meade DSI in AutostarSuite, and Orion StarShooter solar System...
