Superb captures and fantastic animation Nic! I just learned to live with this glow on other side of the Sun with Lunt CaK module. I like your processing!

Petrus

Impressive full disk Mark!

Petrus

Great report James, just thick gray clouds here.

Petrus

Thank you James, Mark and Arne!

Petrus

Wonderful result Ivan! Nice to see your setup.

Petrus

Great full disk with lots of details to dive in, Rich!

Petrus

Wow! Amazing set of captures Marty.

Petrus

Wonderful captures Brian! The Sun is really busy now with so many active regions.

Petrus

Beautiful captures Ralph! Ones with the filament is really great ones.

Petrus

Thanks Franco And Warren! Nice set, Petrus. In the first one there seems to be a hint of Newton rings, diagonally. Are you using a tilter ? Franco During this session, no. I will try with tilter next time, usually NR's has been only issue when using barlow lens with this setup. Maybe they has been j...

Petrus

Nice set Franco, I am happy to hear we have yet another Saturn-M user!

Petrus

Impressive details Eric! The sun looks angry with such violent eruptions going on all around the disk.

Petrus

Wonderful capture Rob!

Petrus

Excellent captures Stuart, I noticed same effect with my cat. Clouds almost always goes away further we walk.

Petrus

Monday offered only horrible conditions for imaging, with haze and about one hour before clouds rolled in. I had allready deleted most of captures, until I realised there was sort of flare party going on. First photo illustrates class M1.1 flare in AR 13639 around UTC 13:54. According to SpaceWeathe...

Petrus · Re: Lovely large prom on SW limb 4/15/2024 Fantastic animation Warren!

Fantastic animation Warren!

Petrus

Thank you for settings info Warren, I'll play around with it. Looks to work nicely with my data too with little adjustment.

Petrus

Nice to read your report James, I am waiting for bright blue skies here too! Lots of pretty filaments now visible. Just need some good old big sunspot...

Petrus

Great catch Warren! Would you mind sharing your settings for using Solar Tool box for processing?

Petrus

Great animation and nice to see your imaging setup!

I did not see the skulls but that would be pareidolia working as it should. I sometimes have seen "zombie pigs" or hammer in the form of prominences, it really works so odd for inviduals

Petrus

Fantastic capture Mark, getting those filaments to show is really impressive!

Petrus

I have owned pix insight since it first came out and have struggled with it many times usually giving up in the end. I see all of those guys teaching classes at NEAF every year And have developed a strong dislike of having to use the program. lol Is there a fee for the Solar toolbox and has anyone ...

Petrus

Nice report James, looks like smaller sunspots got some bigger in few days!

Petrus

Breathtaking details Petr! Always nice to see your sessions.

Petrus

Great set, my favorite is WL sunspot, and great details of the granulation.

Petrus · Re: Giving the Seestar its due 4/8/2024 Great results Warren.

Impressive captures of the eclipse Eric!

Petrus

Thank John, Warren, Petr, Mark, Alexandra and Maurits for your kind words

Petrus

Very sunny and warm day for imaging today. Some haze and clouds during the session, mostly visible in the animation. The seeing did not support use of two Barlow combo for the sunspot. Never hurts to try! WL with TS Optics 152mm f5.9, Baader solar prism II, Baader Continuum 7.5nm, Saturn-M. Close-up...

Petrus · Re: jet transit during eclipse 8/4/24 Fantastic!

Fantastic!

Nice catch!

Nice catch!

Petrus

Great captures Warren, the Sun had really nice prominences for the eclipse day!

Petrus

Wonderful full disk captures Wayne!

Petrus

Thank you Maurits, Wayne, Alexandra, Mark and Arne! That is a huge V on the eastern Sun, very interesting indeed :bow :hamster: I think tuning doesn't look too bad. Alexandra This looked so exciting, but looks like it at least partially lifted off today. Ah well. Lots of filaments to choose from for...

Petrus · Re: Sun Ha from 04/7/2024 Impressive view!

Impressive view!

Petrus

Wonderful details Mauritz.

Petrus

Wonderful details Mauritz.

Petrus

Winter here keeps making comebacks. On Saturday I had a small moment for imaging, with clouds passing by and some haze too. Almost felt I got pretty good deal for Lunt80THa DSII etalons and sweet spot, but ah, just had to try a little tweak and it got worse again. Decided to go with it and try to ta...

Petrus

Wonderful result Nic!

Petrus

Wonderful result Nic!

Petrus

Wonderful captures and thank you for your detailed explanation of tuning and finding the sweet spot. Bit struggle with it still with my Lunt80THa, but getting there after the weather allows better and longer sessions.

Petrus

Fantastic results in difficult conditions Mark!

Petrus

Great full disk!

Petrus

Great report James, I was able to try my luck through a thick haze here too. Your observation location looks very nice!

Petrus

Nice captures Martin! Let's hope this one will put up good show for upcoming days.

Petrus

Thank you Alexandra!

Excellent full disk!
