Hi,

I did some sunspot imaging today (Aug 12.) using a 400mm f5 refractor and

a
C8.


The 400mm is focal length, right?

Regards,
Ed T.

Yes :-) 400mm f5 implies the aperture is 80mm.

The hi-res shots are particularly superb. Thanks.

Thanks Ado,

Yes, I was surprised they came out that good. The full aperture filter on
the C8 helps I think.
