Calif, USA Re: Icarus's Wings, also in 3D [Re: EmielVeldhuis]       #2162669 - 02/02/08 11:40 AM Attachment (20 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Emiel, First, great capture of the “Wings of Icarus”. Also, coincidently enough, yesterday was first light for the Icarus Solar Observatory. Unfortunately seeing was very poor due to clouds and an approaching storm. Below is about the best I could do, only half a wing and it required a lot of frame editing to remove the completely blackened frames from the clouds passing through. Imaged at 19:58UT with a Tak Sky 90, Solar Spectrum 0.2A H-a filter and Skynyx 2-1 camera.
