Description

Yes, I am getting a Daywalker

As mentioned I want to start into Ha Solar imaging. Now the equipment is complete I want share some images. First of all: Deepest respect to all of the experienced Solar APs here. It is a completely other world than DSO imaging.

Second: It is wired you have to put sun blocker to your equipment list. Getting a sun burn during equipment setup is really new ;)

Getting to the system:

Scope: TEC140 ED

Ha-Filter: Solar Spectrum 1.5, 0.5A, 2.5mm free opening, Temperature controlled

Telecentric: Baader TZ-3 seated into M68 Compendium

ERF: 130cm Baader D-DERF

First light here: https://www.astrobin.com/zfaip8/

PS: Please forgive the messy setup. I had only a few minutes. I wanted to test and there was only a small hole in the clouds. So there was no time to make a clean and tidy showcase.

Description: Counterweight barrel for the heavy D-ERF. Since the D-ERF is more than 1KG I needed a counterweight. I printed a perfectly matching barrel and filled it with tiny lead balls (2,5mm diameter called "soft lead"). this weights 750g.
I also added cable holders.
