My new Orion 100ED arrived yesterday and I was lucky with some clear skies this morning. I had very turbulent atmosphere but rather good seing so it was really tough getting focus and a sharp photo. But I tried to photograph and also pushed the 100ED @ 4500mm using a x5 Powermate and I´m happy about the details at the limb in that photo. All photos taken by Solarmax60 filter and Canon DSLR. My daughter (soon 7 years old) came out and looked through the 100ED/SM60 and actually saw the Sun for the first time in Ha.....and she said: WOW! Look at that....it´s....beautiful!!! You can imagine how happy I am at the moment!!!!! Clear skies! /P-M -------------------- Orion 80ED Orion 100ED Powermate x2.5 Powermate x5 Solarmax60 filter Modified Canon Digital Rebel XT Celestron NexStar11 GPS Baader photography filter Baader Continuum filter CG-5 mount William Optics ZS66 SD APO Post Extras:       clearskies Pooh-Bah Reged: 06/11/06 Posts: 1105 Re: First Light 100ED [Re: clearskies]       #2243586 - 03/08/08 06:38 AM Attachment (13 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   And @ 2250mm -------------------- Orion 80ED Orion 100ED Powermate x2.5 Powermate x5 Solarmax60 filter Modified Canon Digital Rebel XT Celestron NexStar11 GPS Baader photography filter Baader Continuum filter CG-5 mount William Optics ZS66 SD APO Post Extras:       Ralph Marantino Postmaster Reged: 05/01/05 Posts: 6331 Loc: Old Bridge, New Jersey Re: First Light 100ED [Re: clearskies]       #2243603 - 03/08/08 06:59 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Lots of luck with it 1 to 2 inches of rain today. -------------------- Lunt H-alpha LS100THa/B3400 Rockland Astronomy Club Member BAA Solar Section Central Appalachian Astronomy Club Astronomical League DSPST,PST & 70mm Coronado Cal K telescope.2.2A Zeiss 2 inch prism diagonal&Zeiss Zoom EP 2inch APM Herschel Wedge in a 94mm F7 Brandon 14.5 inch f4.2 Starmaster Dob(Zambuto mirror) TeleView Genisis SDF with 1000 Oaks Glass filter Zeiss 63mm f13.5 refractor 1000 Oaks Glass filter Itty Bitty Solar Radio Telescope.

What your daughter said is so true - the Sun is beautiful. If the seeing is really good the Sun is very striking even in (or especially) white light.
