Solar Flare Imaging for Amateurs
Amateur solar flare imaging is on my list of
things to do. The problem becomes how to size and control a sun cover disk in the telescope. This is the "blanking" disk in the telescope. My solution is to cover the sun with an x by y rectangular card. A control screw will move the card edge toward and away from the target peak point on the sun. One point of the sun's corona exposed. Although this causes a rather limited view of flares, it fully allows flares to be imaged. My telescope is having its Magnesium Oxide film removed and replaced. The project is a ball of mine. It will be a manual control. |
