Laboratorium Solaris: Sunny side up :)
I had spent the entire weekend chasing dust bunnies off camera chip and finally had achieved a crushing success :) The only one tiny greasy smear had remained in the corner of the chip, but it really doesn't matter for full-disk jobs.
To protect the enterior of the camera I have screwed Baader UV/IR-cut into 1,25" threads of camera's nosepiece. As soon as it would arrive, I would replace it with Baader Clear Glass for better transmission.
Testing time was great. Nice seeing and a flare that had evolved right in front of me. The obvious white patch to the left - this is it at the moment I have spotted it. It decayed rapidly.
Safety first in watching the Sun.
TIS DMK23U274 on Coronado PST, 20% of ~1000 frames stacked in Autostakkert!2 and image deconvolved in AstraImage 3 (Cauchy type PSF, 0,3 units, 9 iterations).
Note: the first time I have used such a set of parameters for deconvolution. The image may not appear contrast, but the details worth it.
