SOLAR IMAGING with the DAYSTAR QUARK H-ALPHA FILTER

- This video will show you step by step how to do a solar image with the Daystar-Quark-Chromosphere-H-alpha-Filter with an 80ED mm refractor telescope. This includes image processing in Photoshop from start to finish with a final image.
I bought the solar filter recently about three months ago and due to bad weather, this was my third experience using it. I haven't received my monochrome camera yet in the mail so meanwhile I was using the ZWO ASI 224mc and ASI 294mc color cameras. In my third experience I also added an IR cut filter to the mix which gives better details and definition which I can not ignore. The IR cut (1.25) is placed at the entry of the camera and not the scope.
This video will show you that even with a colored camera and a less conventional way in processing your stacked image can produce a very good image and at the end and you can be satisfied. The next level would be doing it with a monochrome camera were you can get your solar imaging to a higher standard.

Nice to see some of what the Quark is capable of. I just purchased a Lunt 40mm and have been blown away with the images even that small aperture can manage. Down the line I may consider a Quark for my Skywatcher 72ed.
Excellent presentation!
I am just getting started, and looking for ways to use my 100 mm APO refractor that has been unused for too long for solar work.
An excellent introduction. I’ve been thinking about a Lunt.. .but a Daystar looks like a great alternative. Thanks.
If you only have one choice I would go with the Daystar.
I had my 50mm Lunt before purchasing the Daystar
A Lunt will be more expensive if you want alot of power (focal length and resolution)
@@astrovega Thanks for the perspective - I am still looking at both, but Daystar is impressive!
yeee boi nice photo at the end too!
Hi!!! Can you use the filter to make direct observation? Like an eyepiece?
What if you bought an H-alpha filter and combine it with a normal solar filter?
What if you only use the h-alpha filter for observing the sun?
Thanks for the answers
Yes it is amazing looking through the h alpha filter for observing the sun. Dont combine another solar filter but you can certainly combine an IR cut filter.
Hi - when you say you focus once, do you mean focus on the telescope or camera. I have just purchased a DayStar Solar Scout SS60-DS 60mm H-alpha Solar Telescope and I'm waiting for the ZWO 174 camera.
Focus with the telescope on a sun spot.
73ms is very slow for this kind of pictures! You should try to go arround 5 to 8ms. Then you can go down with the Gain and the FPS should be much higher too!
Sharpcap? Laptop? Um, maybe buy an Asiair Plus and go inside where it’s darker.
Nothing beats a USB 3.0 webcam plugged into a laptop for squeezing more FPS out of video recording when doing lucky imaging. I still love my ASI Air when I do my deep sky imaging the traditional way.
The image is great, but to me it looks like it's more drawn than photographed...
After observing and shooting the total solar eclipse I'm looking for a way to shoot the chromosphere. It's beautiful! But the narrow-band images are not even close to what I've seen during the eclipse :(
