Day Star
by Aratus » Sun Jun 10, 2018 9:50 pm
Capturing stars during broad daylight is a little tricky, but the brightest ones can be seen. I tried for Betelgeuse, but it is too near the sun in the sky at the moment. I then went for Regulus in Leo, and I was more successful. This is a composite of 7 sharp images.
I use an 11" reflector (Celestron CPC 1100) and a 3" refractor, (Sky-Watcher ST80) mounted on an equatorial wedge, housed in a 2.2m Pulsar observatory. I use a ZWO ASI 120MM, ZWO ASI1600MC and Canon 1300D for imaging.

Arcturus is up by the afternoon now, and is a more interesting star to try to image in the daytime, being an orange star.
The seeing conditions during the day, as might be expected, are pretty bad, but I managed to stack about 40 decent images.
