I'm getting more familar with the ED80, I got batteries so the clock drive works now...what a difference!! Here is an image I took this morning (8:28am local time, 1528UT) of spot group 652-653. I shot it in the strangest of conditions...right off my cement patio (the yard had just finished being watered and I didn't want to tromp in the wet grass). Surprisingly the image isn't terrible. I found out that my baader solar filter has some very bad spots and isn't producing as good of images as it should. I have a new one on order.
This was shot with a Toucam, Baader homemade filter and the Orion ED80. I had K3CCD judge the quality of the images and I selected the best as a reference and processed the avi in Registax 2.1. This is a stack of 598 images, processed with wavelets and in Paint Shop Pro 8.1, then converted to greyscale.
