100mm test
August 24,
2012
I have on loan a Solarscope SF-100, mounted on a TeleVue NP-101
refractor (540mm focal length). I am comparing the images through this
filter with a Coronado/Meade SolarMaxII 90/BF15. The images below
were taken on August 24, 2012, at approximately 3:30pm local time. The
ground was hot and seeing was mediocre throughout the test.
All images were taken with the filters mounted on the NP-101, and with a
2.5x Powermate between the blocking filters and the FLEA-3 imaging
camera. AutoStakkert!2 was used for alignment and stacking, RegiStax6
wavelets, and Photoshop CS6 for high pass and sharpening.
