Objects to be Imaged this Evening:
Images submitted with this report:
Problems Encountered:
MUSK OBSERVATORY
Solar Features Observed: few sunspots + protuberances
Images submitted with this report: 2
Problems Encountered: I followed all the steps for sun imaging, it
renders great until I select "Stack" on sharpcap, which makes a double
of the original image and place it on top, as you can see on the first
image linked. It is not related to a long exposure time as I only took
1000 images for about 3 seconds. Could you help me with this issue? Also
I see absolutely no difference both in the eyepiece and the camera when
turning either tuners, maybe they are too far engaged? What should I do?
