LS152T meets 6mm Ethos

[David]

An ex-student wants to see the sun in H-alpha. So I took out my only equipment for this purpose: LS152T. The beauty of LS152T is that it is probably the largest portable h-alpha telescope in the market. I carried this with one hand and a small azimuthal mount with another hand to my car. I parked my car on a quiet road and set up the scope. We started observing within one minute!

When I looked into the Lunt zoom eyepiece, a huge prominence greeted me in all its glory. Like a fountain of fire standing proud on the solar surface, it transformed from a dark filament on the solar disk to a bright prominence beyond the edge of the sun. On the opposite end of the sun was two departing sunspots, with a nice prominence emerging from them.

I took out my new 6mm Ethos to receive its first light. At 150x, the details shown by the huge filaprom were fantastic!

傳統觀念是太陽觀測有點像行星月面，跟超廣角目鏡沾不上邊，而且在Ha觀測倍率根本也不會高到那裡去。

但當口徑到了100、152甚至160時，我發現用Ethos推上100倍觀看全日面，效果特別好的：

David 的情況如何?

Great1! 150X! Let me try my TV 2-4mm on LS80T. Perhaps comparable magnification, but poor FOV.

I'd love to know about the view from this combo.

不知這樣會不會已經過重而影響調焦的流暢度？

[社長]

不會，因為Feather Touch 是市面上最穏最順滑的手動調焦筒。

自數年前中了毒後，至今我的個人器材已有好幾個3.5", 2.5", 2.0" 型號了，也有三套電子裝置。

目視太陽，2.0"型號可以了，若要目視深空等，最好用上2.5"，若要用到全片幅拍攝，3.5"會較合適。

Now I know why the view was brilliant. I was watching a double-eruption in progress !

when you called me yesterday I was running a function, otherwise I will pull out my LS75F immediately
