CaK Sun 13th April

Fishing for gaps in the cloud again and just enough time for a full disk, although high cloud and haze meant the proms were not revealing themselves. More tweaking of the filter setup is showing hints of the filaments though which is positive. CaK FD 40mm f15 zwo183mm

Calcium Sunshine 6th April

Finally a bit of time, and despite storm Kathleen bringing gales and skies filled with Saharan dust an opportunity to observe. Trying out the custom Cak filter here, an Alluxa 0.14nm double stacked with a CaK PST filter, seems to offer an improvement in terms of a narrower bandpass with more contrast. Hopefully better conditions soon will allow further testing.
