Equipment

I have added a DMK 31AF03 camera to my equipment which has increased the frame rate from 5fps (Toucam SC3 and Pro b/w) to 30fps (less in practice, probably 10), and the resolution from 640x480 to 1024x768. The IC Capture software also allows more control of the exposure and dynamic range.

2008

I have now found an ED100 secondhand, which I can use with the white light filter (Baader Astrosolar and Continuum filters). I have bought (Nov 2008) a Lunt Ca K B600 module to use with both the ED80 and ED100. For full disk images I use the ED80 with an Atik x0.5 reducer. Very easy to use and good results.

2009

Having bought a Lunt 75mm Ha filter with B1200 blocking filter (October 2009), I am experimenting with the ED100 and ED80.
I hope to get a better setup for full disk images as my Coronado BF10 blocking filter has developed rust over nearly the whole surface after about 4 years use.
