Configuration for Full Disk Solar Observing
I had written previously about finally finding a configuration of gear that makes full disk solar observing far more enjoyable than without this new configuration of solar gear. The purpose of this blog entry is more about documenting this new and unusual configuration so I can duplicate it again each time I want to observe the full disk of the sun with my Quark solar filter. Of course, I have this configuration documented in my notes too but I figured it would be good to document it here as well. My larger telescopes provide more closeup views but I like to see the whole disk as well. In order to improve my full disk view, I had to play around with a few ideas on how I could possibly accomplish this. I kept going back to my assortment of astronomy components to assemble different configurations. Then I had to play around with spacing. It was a fairly long process of trial and error based upon the knowledge I had gained through experience but I eventually hit upon the right co
