Peek A Boo

While I was not in a location for totality, I did build a Rig out of four different scopes I had here. It was called by my friends as "Frankenscope" Anywho, it was made from my Guide scope from my Vixen A81, A solar filter from a 114mm Celestron reflector, The dust cap off my 102mm Skywatcher, and the lunar camera from my 60mm Vixen. I used my Skywatcher Gte to track the sun so I could take a 2 gigabyte video at 20 frames a second. I had 70%ish here. But this one really shows off the sunspots.

Taken with Svbony 60X220mm guide scope, Celestron (DIY) solar filter, Svbony 105 planetary camera with Svbony UHC filter, skywatcher Gte mount.

Stacked 2 gig video with Autostakkert,

Processed in GIMP and Corel paint shop pro.
