Short experience and color images with SkyWatcher Heliostar 76mm H-Alpha Solar Telescope

Hello Karl

I wanted to get in touch with you because I had a wonderful observing holiday, and the Heliostar was perfect. I really enjoyed the telescope and am very grateful for expediting the shipping.

In fact, I'm now learning how to take solar images and process them properly, and this is a whole new challenge for me. However, attached you'll find my first high-resolution image with the Heliostar and also my first attempt at capturing an ISS transit. The latter is a bit low-resolution because I shot it in 8-bit mode because I had to be quick. The transit lasted only 0.76 seconds.

These were my first attempts with the Heliostar (and a ZWO 183mm pro). I've also only just begun to learn the tricks of solar image processing...

Thank you again so much for all your help with the order and with all the problems with DHL—without your efforts, I wouldn't have received the telescope on time!

Best regards,

Alick
