20070514 Solar

The sun is sinking low in the sky, I just back from Silvermine Bay with my parents and also my own family, pretty tired, but still want to take some shots. Setup is my Borg 45ED II, with 2.5x corrector and PST etalon module, SM40/BF10.

Also tested that it not only won't focus without the 2.5x corrector, but also even with a 2x barlows.

AR955 (1607 GMT+8) and the newly formed AR956 (1609 GMT+8):-





Very poor contrast, strongly processed.

Finally, a failed mosaic... when the sky is poor, the contrast is hard to maintain and it's next to impossible to make mosaic:-
