my the SOL be with U, folks!

after having a hard nightshift duty I headed for my observatory to find some relaxation and rest. it was 7h30 UT when I started imaging.

I put the DMK fire wire camera into the Coronado Solarscope 90 and hoped for good seeing.
well - it could have been better...

data on the images are within the site,...

now I`m really curiouse what the scope can do when good seeing comes around!

Hi Dietmar!!

Splendid Solar images you got there with the DMK and the Coronado Solarscope 90(in this your latest great shot)!!!! I can easily imagine what you can get with better seeing!!!!!!!
One question: among other cams you also have the Lumenera Color version, haven't you. How would you rate the DMK(monochrome) sensitivity compared to your Lumenera(color)??
Once more... GREAT JOB!!

David
