What a great set. That last prom shot is awesome.

David_The_Bears_Fan

Great images Mark.

David_The_Bears_Fan

Awesome images Eric. Apologies you have undoubtedly been asked this many times, what is the "Ca-K PST Mod" you refer to in your Ca-K image names?

David_The_Bears_Fan

Thanks all for your kind comments. Fine images, with many proms details. Shouldn't they be flipped vertically ? He just has the North pole at the bottom and the tilting Sun graph is therefore correct. Maybe he lives down under ? :lol: Yes, it does confuse a bit. Yes, I need to remember to flip the d...

Interesting to compare your H Alpha observations with what I see in Ca-K, thanks.

David_The_Bears_Fan

Great set, love that prom shot! Looking forward to my Quark arriving now.

David_The_Bears_Fan

Nice work Terry.

David_The_Bears_Fan

Woke to cloud this morning :( Fortunately it was that thin cirrus stuff that I could work either around / through. Lots going on still, although the spots / pores seem to have vanished there's still lots of prominence activity. Start off with the Ca-K FD's. Couldn't get it to stitch initially but a ...

David_The_Bears_Fan

Going to hold you to this now Mark!

David_The_Bears_Fan

New month started in the right way - sunny skies and lots of solar imaging :D Still lots to see both in white light and Ca-K. Seeing was generally poorer than yesterday but with some steady moments. Ca-K FD's 20200601_Ca-K_6PaneFD_Invert.jpg 20200601_Ca-K_6PaneFD_Invert_Colour.jpg Some nice Ca-K pla...

Thanks All :bow2 .... What was the setup for the last image? Alfred Skywatcher Evostar 120 stopped down to 100mm, Lunt B1200 diagonal, Revelation 2.5x barlow, ZWO ASI178MM set with ROI @ 2504x2080. 1000 frames captured in 8-bit mono @ 60 frames per second. And lots of patience waiting for a break in...

David_The_Bears_Fan

Early start this morning and out before 8am. Seeing was horrible initially but seemed to settle as time went on. Good to see some (admittedly small) spots on the Sun in white light today. Lots going on in Ca-K still as well so a busy session. First up, Ca-K full disks 20200531_Ca-K_6PaneFD_Invert_a....

Awesome Stu

David_The_Bears_Fan

Great set of images Eric

David_The_Bears_Fan

Thanks Stu

David_The_Bears_Fan

I love some good white light granulation. Something weirdly satisfying about a clean disk. I got so wrapped up in Ca-K this morning I forgot to do white light.

David_The_Bears_Fan

Thanks Alexandra. I am well thank you, hope you and yours are safe and well too.

David_The_Bears_Fan

Thanks Jochen. Managed to catch some half-decent seeing this morning.

David_The_Bears_Fan

Thanks Mark. Only taken me a year to take the plunge on the Quark!

David_The_Bears_Fan

Thanks. Despite all that ImPPG can do (and it is brilliant) I still find that a last round of unsharp mask in GIMP + a touch of Gaussian blur gives me the best overall detail levels.

David_The_Bears_Fan

Been a while since I posted here, so I thought I would pop back and say "Hi". Hope you are all doing well. I took a bit of an enforced a break from solar over the winter as I loose the Sun from mid-November until mid Feb (due to trees) and then other things just got in the way! I'm back to...

David_The_Bears_Fan

Weather has been pretty rough here in the UK for a few weeks now, that combined with work and limited / no solar activity have meant a bit of a break for me over the last few weeks. Woke up to sunny skies this morning though and despite the lack of activity I decided I needed a solar fix :D With so ...

David_The_Bears_Fan

Thanks everyone

David_The_Bears_Fan

FD looks pretty good to me and plane transits are always fun. They always seem to occur just after my capture finishes

David_The_Bears_Fan

Thanks Brian

David_The_Bears_Fan

Thanks Franco, Pepe

David_The_Bears_Fan

Glorious blue skies this morning and seeing not bad either. Shame about the lack of activity. Nothing on show in white light and very little to show for the Ca-K session. Proms are a bit rough but they were small and faint.

David_The_Bears_Fan

Thanks Alexandra. Cloudy here this morning too

David_The_Bears_Fan

Thanks guys.

David_The_Bears_Fan

Thank you Peter, Brian, Mark.

David_The_Bears_Fan

Good set Mark.

David_The_Bears_Fan

Quick session early before work. Not much to see but some nice proms in Ca-K was reward enough.

Good captures Pedro. Those proms were impressive in Ca-K here this morning.

David_The_Bears_Fan

Excellent images Ronnie

David_The_Bears_Fan

Awesome prom shots Eric, thanks for sharing.

David_The_Bears_Fan

Made an early start and found clear-ish skies, a bit hazy but much better than the last 2 days. Didn't expect much with all the active regions now on the far side but I was pleasantly surprised! White light was quiet as expected although the seeing was not bad at all and visually the granulation was...

David_The_Bears_Fan

Thanks all

David_The_Bears_Fan

Great shots Pepe.

David_The_Bears_Fan

Super images Maurits. Love the coloured prominences!

David_The_Bears_Fan

Good shot Mark. Conditions equally poor here this morning. Cloud forecast for a few days now so I can go back to crawling out of bed just in time for work again

David_The_Bears_Fan

Probably the last early morning session looking at the forecast. Rough conditions this morning but managed a few half-decent shots

Another early start but poorer conditions this morning. Still not a bad result and have to make the most of the activity and weather.

Some nice results there Alexandra. I like the jam idea

David_The_Bears_Fan

Another early start to catch some Sun before work. Some cirrus clouds in the way when I got out but they did not pose a serious impediment.

Superb set of images Eric

David_The_Bears_Fan

Defeated the alarm clock today then Mark

Paid dividends with a nice disk. Need to make my mind up on the H Alpha upgrade
