Tried my hand at some DSLR solar imaging today.
The images were acquired with my Canon 1200D and taken through the skywatcher 102.
Man what a learning curve that involved!
Getting the white balance right, then exposure times, then, then,then...
After almost a hour I finally had a image on screen that looked like a disc!
Trying to find the sweet spot for the focus is another headache.
These are still out of focus.
So here are the results of more than a hours labour this morning.
Full disc.
And the sunspots closer up.
This solar imaging is a lot harder than one would think and I am going to need a lot more practice at this.
It's a good start so far and I am reasonably happy with the outcome.
