Well done Mick

You did better than my first try with the Coronado.

This seems to be a rather difficult 'scope to focus when using a camera. It's not helped by the apparent focus difference between the face and limb. All in all, I think you've done well here; you've got much better limb detail than I managed to achieve!

Thanks for the comments, I found it a lot harder to use than I was expecting.

Visually it's excellent though.

Ditto.  Wouldn't mind getting my own PST, but would want to try one out before getting one, in case I get the same problems.

Hi Mick,

Just been reading a thread on SGL on Solar imaging and some-one posted this:

Might explain why I had difficulties until I turned off the colour.  Thought you might find it interesting too.

Thanks for that Carole - looks interesting

I tried imaging with the Coronado one DSC and came to the conclusion that the focuser really isn't up to the job.

So, Mick, I think you've done quite a reasonable job!
