Imaging Our Sun-The Book
Imaging Our Sun is a full color pictorial of Hydrogen Alpha and White Light images of our closest star. All of the images were captured by the author over the last two years as the sun approaches "solar maximum" in 2013. Also included in the book is a look at both the imaging and the processing techniques the author uses to produce solar images. The book is available in either a 9 x 11 "landscape" format or a 11.5 x 15 "coffee table" size. Both are hardcover.
The print quality of the images surpasses anything you've seen in any astronomy book to date

Lunt 100 and Coronado 90 as well as "First Light" for the Point Grey Grasshopper 3 USB3 camera
No focal reducer was needed to get the full disk on the chip with a Lunt 100mm Ha scope.
Seeing was "fair" and this was the first time using Firecapture 2.2 software so I need some time to refine my capture settings, but
overall a successful test.
