Oh Boy. How can we ever achieve this level. Just extraordinary. I am blown away.

Now how do we get hold of a 1 metre scope?

Hi William,
that picture is one of the best, that I see in my life was taken from an amateur. Is verry nice to see what can do an amateur whit the right equipment. Imself take the same camera, but I never expose the moon with this quality.
Concratulation.

Comment on Extraordinary Solar Prominence Images by Shevill Mathers

Hi Jim,

Great to see some solar images from your setup. Yes, like you, any eyepieces I have are long since redundant, my IS cameras are used all the time, when weather permits. I have not had time to give my DS 0.5A Lunt 60 Ha scope a workout yet with an IS camera, busy finishing off my second obs installation.

Feel free to browse my websites with some solar images with the IS 1/2″ colour camera-

Don’t try to focus on a planet. Use a nearby star and a focusing aid such as a Bahtinov mask (http://www.focus-mask.com/Free_Templates.html). You adjust the colour in post processing.
