Description

I am still fine tuning and learning lots about Solar imaging. I had clear skies and excellent seeing on the 16th so I decided to give it a go. After about 90 min of trying to get the focus correct and spacing of the Quark, I was able to start imaging. I found myself exploring the sun more than imaging, but I did put together a quick image that has decent detail and a nice prominence at the top. I masked the front objective of the already small EDPH2 down to 42mm. This gave me a focal ratio of f8 which the Quark liked a lot more that f5.5. The detail is limited my aperture, but by masking I achieved better contrast for the surface features. I will continue to work on and hopefully improve my solar work.

Thanks for looking!
