  • Details
    Date Taken: 10/23/2014
    Location: St. Paul Minnesota
    Telescope: Orion StarBlast 6i IntelliScope Reflector Telescope
    Mount: 7.17" ID Orion Full Aperture Solar Filter
    Camera: Orion SteadyPix Deluxe Camera Mount
    Other Camera: Nikon Coolpix L22
    Processing: none
    Other Equipment Used: 12 mm Meade HD60 eyepiece
    Notes: Combined with the full aperture solar filter the starblast 6i provides AMAZING solar views. I switched between a 9 mm eyepiece for visual and a 12 mm eyepiece with the camera and mount for photography. Great eclipse experience. Fantastic luck that the huge sunspot complex lined up to take center stage.
