Sun with Sol'Ex Feb 2
Very good seeing this morning and a blue sky., so perfect Sol'Ex time.
Setting:
TLAPO60/360, Sol'Ex Pro version and ASI678MM
Herschel Wedge
Software: SharpCap, Inti, JSolex and CS4
Slit: Gen2 7micron and 10mm width
Sun with Sol'Ex Feb 1, 2025
First time this year .. a blue sky .. the entire day. Imaging the Sun using my Solex v3 Pro version on TLAPO60/360 and ASI678MM camera. Solar protection was done using Herschel Wedge.
Some learnings: even though I decreased ROI, the camera did had a limit on fps. This had an impact on sx/sy values. I need to deepdive into this.
