RT65CB-SWL Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Managed to take my first solar image and of AR2846 with my TeleVue Ranger, Lunt Herschel Wedge, AstroBoot 18mm e/p, Baader single polarising filter and iPhone 12 handheld over the eyepiece... I did try with the Baader Solar Continuum filter as well, but the image was not as good. Edited July 23, 2021 by Philip R 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulB Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Nice start. I had a TV Ranger many, many years ago. It was heavy but a very good telescope. The spot is very clear and you've done a good job with the post processing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT65CB-SWL Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) I forgot to mention earlier that the 'scope was mounted on a Universal Astronomics DwarfStar Mount and a Manfrotto PROB tripod. The post processing was with one of MS-Windows 10 pre-installed paint/image apps to convert it from .HEIC to .JPG Edited July 23, 2021 by Philip R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
