Hi,
I’ve been doing astrophotography for a couple of years and continue to enjoy all aspects of it. I also enjoy looking at images of the sun on AB, but do get to a point where I feel they are a bit repetitive (I know one could say the same about night time observing/imaging).
I’ve toyed with the idea from time to time of buying a basic Ha solar scope (e.g. 40 mm Lunt) but even these are relatively expensive when someone is unsure if the interest will rapidly wane after looking through or imaging with the scope a few times (I would hope that wouldn’t be the case but I just don’t know)
However, it does have appeal though for being able to do something astronomically related during the day and especially when the nights are cloudy (as they have been here now for weeks)
I assume only a relatively small proportion of AB users are into solar observing/imaging, but I’m really keen to hear from those who’ve tried it - e.g. how you got into it, what did/didn’t keep you interested, how often do you do it, do you do night time astro as well, etc.
Thanks,
Paul
