The filter is matched but still has a lot of banding. The filaments really pop out though but I don't think I would be able to adjust the filters to take a full disk shot without dark areas. I've tried with a dslr without any luck and I can't fit the whole disk on my webcam or ccd camera. The filaments from today were just slightly visible with the single stack but were clearly visble with the double stack.

Full disk in single stack mode is no problem for my DMK31. I'll keep you informed. waltr walter -------------------- only dust in the wind, TAK on GM8, Lunt 60, DMK31,still greenhorn, but as a golfer used to be humble Post Extras:       marktownley Carpal Tunnel Reged: 08/19/08 Posts: 2267 Loc: West Midlands, UK Re: Filiments 10-14-09 [Re: swisswalter]       #3390570 - 10/15/09 02:09 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Nice capture Chuck!
