2013-01-01 New Year Sun

My Ranger has gone back to its original shape, the NGF-CM was sold earlier last year.  Solar imaging has been going back to basic in white light with Baader film, and cheap green 1.25" filter from China.

The first one was taken at 1454 (GMT+8) at prime focus:-

And the next one was taken with a 2x barlows, 1457 (GMT+8):-

These shots were taken with my Mark-X using a hacked Tele Vue System mount motor driven by a solar battery.  It's nice to harvest solar energy to do solar imaging:

 Lastly, happy new year!
