Hi, yup you need to use solar filter. Not sure type of solar filter mine was but will check with the person who made it for me. Ermm what do you mean capture the sun surface. If you asking using telescope, mine is using newtonian and used astrocam, as in the video. Feel free to ask if you have more question
@Aprendendo Astronomia Ah... hahaha with my little knowledge good scope, with good EQ mount and good camera. But what they normally do is take a lot of pictures and use a software to process it by stacking etc.. Can't do with mine with my current setup
@@gadgetsdiy960 THanks, just ordered one. BUt now I think I'll need a special finder scope, right ? Or I don't need any at all ? Just point the telescope and try to find manually ?
Well is good to have a finder scope it will make you life easy but you need to align it propely. It will depend on what you want for the type of scope mine I use a laser one and it is good enough for now. You can try and find it manually but would be difficult as the telescope is in zoom mode
hi. did you use any kind of solar filter ? which one ? And also, do you know how do we capture the sun's surface with a newtonian ? thanks
