JD,

 

If you don't mind me asking, how do you get the sky so blue?

 

Thanks. 

I'm not really sure how it works out. I drop the exposure level a little bit from what comes out of the camera on shots with a clear sky. If I'm shooting a very bright building like that I drop the highlights and whites a little too. Up an notch on the clarity slider. All in Lightroom. The sun here is very harsh in the winter (it was 77 degrees today).

Brilliant spell of weather, a pleasure to fly in even.

Took the 10" out real quickly, as it was middle of the day, and thermals normally ruin any hope of imaging.

Used the T, 1/4000th sec, ISO200, and DNG so I could muck with the image as much as I figured I'd need to.

Cropped to square to "save space".

Cheers Dunk.

I have a picture of the scope and filter, but it's not a Leica shot.

Being  full aperture filter doesn't help sometimes, I might make a mask that brings it down to about 4 inches a many-fold advantage, longer focal ratio, smaller aperture giving a possible advantage in seeing, and less light too.

I usually use the refractors, but this is so simple, wheel it out and shoot, wheel it back in.

SOLAR IMAGING HEALTH & SAFETY WARNING:

 

A few words of warning for anyone tempted to try and photograph the Sun:

 

Pleased do not attempt without reading up on all essential precautions - especially if using a telescope.

 

Instant blindness can result from viewing the Sun through a telescope, binoculars or a camera.

 

And it's not the brightness or the heat which causes same - it's the invisible UV and IR wavelengths which burn the retina instantly and without the eye experiencing any pain - because there are no pain receptors in the retina. Incorrect filtration transmits those UV and IR wavelengths.

 

The heat is also hazardous; a colleague who thought that projecting the Sun's image onto a rear projection screen was safe, was very disappointed when his telescope eyepiece lens' elements fused together.
