Great stuff, Pete. What telescope/camera did you use?

Phil

That's incredible Pete.

Having solar observed a few times myself, I find it strange that the image
isn't moving. It is very easy to forget that the "small" promimence in your
image would easily engulf the earth, and that it's constantly moving.

You're way too good at this. When are you going to write a how to book?

Hi Phil,

It's a standard PST with an ATIK 1HSII modified webcam camera.

It is quite amazing how much it moves isn't it. I didn're realise the
end result would be quite so dramatic. Apparently, 2 hours later the
prom was completely gone.

You're way too good at this. When are you going to write a how to book?

When I finish sorting out my garden ;-)

Hmm .. very interesting, Pete. Amazing what you can achieve with a PST!

I've always had faith in what it could deliver even before I bought
mine. Well, sort of - I went for a second hand one just in case ;-)

Biggest advance for me was getting a large cardboard box to stick my
head, laptop, etc. in when framing, focussing and generally adjusting
the image. You really need a dark environment in which to work. If
there was an electronic remote focuser, that would be fanastic. I
could set the scope up on a computer controlled mount and work
indoors. Alas, there isn't and it's the cardboard box for me.
