Howdy,
I have recently begun to gain interest in solar imaging. I currently have a setup which is specifically built for deep space imaging:
After doing a bit of digging, I found a few nice solar scopes (ie: ls152 lunt, solarmax III, etc.)
My hope was to use the C14 after properly outfitting it instead of going with a dedicated solar OTA.
The observation goals are more research centric (don't care about viewing by eye, only via instrument / ccd).
Studying the sun's magnetic fields are of much interest to me (although I don't know much about how to approach this currently via equipment).
Here are some of the items I have run across so far:
ERF - https://cloudbreakoptics.com/products/energy-rejection-filters?variant=33861797702
DayStar Quark - https://www.highpointscientific.com/daystar-combo-quark-chromosphere-filter-dszcc?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cse&utm_term=DAY-DSZCC
Calcium & KLine - http://www.daystarfilters.com/calcium.shtml
Since this a completely new area to me, I was hoping a few of you might be able to further educate me on the topic.
- Thanks in advance

- Are these components / equipment good for a solar setup via the C14 edge hd OTA?
- What other components / equipment do I need (if any) to safely image and not damage hardware or housing?
- Apart from the above, are there recommendations for other components which would help with the study of magnetic activity? (either directly or by proxy)
- Thanks in advance
