Dawn, Nice shot! When I took my first shots using an H-alpha filter, I too was surprised at how much more the camera "saw" compared to my eyes. It was later explained to me that the CCD is more sensitive to those longer wavelength reds than the eye is. Especially so for "older" eyes. :) Dan Heim http://www.dfacaz.org ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dawn Schur" <dschur@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <az-observing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, January 02, 2010 10:49 AM Subject: [AZ-Observing] FW: Sunspot image LINK > > Just took this one this yesterday morning, my very first > attempt at imaging with the PST using our new DMK cameara.... > > http://www.schursastrophotography.com/latest81.html > -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
