Sol'Ex H-alpha, H-beta and HeID3
After more then a month, I took the time to capture the Sun using my Sol'Ex.
Seeing was moderate but with some clouds coming over.
The main challenge was the setting of the scope after usage during the total solar Eclipse.
Setting
Sol'Ex on TLAPO80/480 and ASI678MM
Herschel wedge and IR Cut filter
Sx/Sy = 1 and Tilt between 0,5 and 1° (need some more time to adjust)
Software: SharpCap, Inti, AstroSurface, CS4
