Interesting project and great initial results. On 4/21/2014 4:31 PM, Darren Addy wrote: The current assignment in our little astrophotography workshop is to capture old Sol.

Re: PESO: I.C. Sunspots
Thanks Daniel & Bob for the comments (and to all who looked). Today was beautiful and tomorrow is supposed to be a carbon copy weather-wise, so I think I will try to image the sun through the ED80T CF imaging scope. It will be interesting to compare it's ease of use and optics to the Bigma for solar work. The focal length is similar (480mm f/6). So look for another couple of images in this thread tomorrow, if all goes as planned.

Re: PESO: I.C. Sunspots
Just added a monochrome of the image taken prior to the color one. Silver Efex Pro 2 preset "Preserve High Structure (Harsh)" brought out some amazing detail in the solar surface: https://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelsmithy/13937153906/ Really pleased with that monochrome one.
