2022 April 20 Another attempt on solar imaging

 


I have decided to use my macbook for imaging, it has a brighter screen which should be helpful.  

After capturing, the AVIs were transferred to my PC for processing.  Maybe I shall try installing Windows on my macbook?  Anyway.

Now I've a little bit more experience with my azgti, and it's up and tracking very quickly.  I've used my iPad air as the control.  My old ipad mini has very little power left, I mean the battery.

First up is a failed full disc shot with the reducer, it's taken at 1004 UT.  It's 1104 for the local time, but we are not in day light saving mode.


Tuning the T-max and Richfield still requires some more practice, it's so far away from the laptop screen.  Pulling the laptop screen closer but the sunshine prevents that.

Next up is taken with reducer off, cropped:


Close up is less demanding to T-max and Richfield combination, taken just 4 minutes later, i.e. 1008 UT.
