Quite a contrast to the past two weeks with all that activity back then. It’s so amazingly quiet. Calm before the storm?

Nice image.

Hi Andrea, I've just done it now, so I know it works.... :) I updated PI to the latest version (mine was old!), which may or may not be necessary. Anyhow, this video is really helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yzfH5x5Smg I noted the importance of 'Resetting Updates' mentioned at around 8:30 ...

Lovely images, Pedro. The Sun suddenly seems very quiet.

Yet more scopes, Pedro

I really appreciate your kind comments, everyone. Double stacking in CaK really does help bring out the proms. BTW, I'm double stacking the yellow filter, just so you know. I'm thinking of tilting the 'blue' filters to adjust the tuning, as Mark does.

Many thanks, everyone. Much appreciated.

A couple of full disks in CaK and Ha, and a closer view of AR13615 in CaK. The calcium images were captured in double stacked mode to try to reveal the main proms.... they are just about visible. Variable seeing conditions, so the mosaics are a little patchy, particularly the calcium one. https://li...

HDR version of departing AR13615. Five images captured at varying exposure levels and merged as a single HDR image to pull out some of the details in the faint proms. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53620963048_29d6e39869_o.png 20240330_Ha_AR13615_Prom_Mono by Stuart Green , on Flickr https://li...

Early beautiful blue skies gave way to rolling clouds and potential rain by midday. Between times, I just about managed to capture a few SER files of AR13615 at two focal lengths on my Basler acA1920 and 2440 cameras. As is more generally the case, the seeing conditions were poor, so the images are ...

Thanks, Arne.

Hi James,

Regrettably, no. I had a look through Alexandra’s SUNoculars a while ago and was really impressed, but haven’t taken the plunge.

Stu.

Many thanks, guys.

Nice improvement, Paul. Sometimes, less is more

Very nice indeed, Paul. That's a great disk.

Beautiful images, guys. Colourising can be a bit of a challenge, sometimes, especially with a specific objective in mind. FYI, I use curves in PixInsight.

Thanks, James. Good to see you're enjoying your SUNoculars.

Back to clouds and rain for the rest of the week, so no more fun in the Sun for a while

Wowzer.... G4 geomagnetic storm in progress! There are likely to be some stunning aurora if it continues through the hours of darkness. My magnetometer kicked into life mid-afternoon when a CME resulting from a recent X-class solar flare struck earlier than predicted (according to Spaceweather.com)....

Carbon60

A beautiful day, but awful seeing for the most part for anything up-close. I did manage a close view of AR13615 mid-flare and tried something a bit different to capture the full 'depth' of the event using an HDR approach, with 5 steps captured at different levels of exposure from very dim to normal....
