DSSR5 has a new scanning feature which enables cameras with small chips to produce images of the entire sun. I tried it\u00a0with my DMK21 (1\/4″ CCD) at prime focus on my PST which looks like this during capture.<\/p>\n

I then used the new scan function to automatically record a 5 minute video of the Sun while DSSR steered the scope to cover the entire solar surface. Registax then did its magic to produce this full disk image below.<\/p>\n

This is a lot easier than mosaics and it looks like the method smooths out the PST hot spots as well. (It’s also a lot cheaper than a 1\/2″ chip camera:-)<\/p>\n

A very big thanks to Sylvain Weiller<\/a>\u00a0for suggesting this feature and helping me bring it to fruition.<\/p>\n

Below are some recent scans – all taken with a 1\/4″ DMK at prime focus on a PST.<\/p>\n
