Description

I got a white light solar wedge together with a ASI178MM a few months ago but haven't played with them too much other than working around a bit of an issue with in-focus on the ED72 with the wedge. With a partial solar eclipse coming up on the 10th June a little testing and preparation seemed like a good idea. Troubleshooting against the clock isn't alot of fun. A clear day and a few sun-spots for added interest don't harm.

I haven't got a clue what I'm doing for the imaging processing other than follow a generic workflow! :-D

For this full solar disk image I used the best 10% of 2000 8-bit frames
