The fundraiser is going veeeerrryyy slowly so far but such is the way of life as a nonprofit director. People are busy, other expenses come up, etc… Anyway, we are going to do our thing until our prize drawing on Oct 31st trying to raise $20,000 to keep the nonprofit operating for the next 6 months....

sort of. Im at another home without access to my web design computer so the goal still says $15K even though it’s $20k this time.
The thermometer is on the front page of www.solarastronomy.org and updated when more comes in…

i’ve been using mine for over a decade and I’ve never plugged it into a computer. The hand controller is tiny and removes one more step in software for me so I love it.

great!

i’m sorry for this inadvertent result of recent forum changes. I reactivated the XLS extension and all should be good

Hi everyone. we had a wonderful Solarchat zoom meeting this past Sunday and I invite all of you to attend future ones. It was decided by the group that we would put some restrictions on certain upload file formats because we keep getting gigantic tiff files being uploaded that no one else can see. A...

thank you for hosting Alexandra! Natalie and I are at the Marsh House and I have been busy wrestling alligators out of the backyard and chasing off hogs. I will be signing in to test our high-speed Internet to see if it is dependable enough to host future meetings from here. We are out in the middle...

We are here! waiting.

Since this is a very international forum, a lot of users have way slower internet than in the states. If possible, could you upload in jpg format instead of png? These images are 25MB each…:) We don’t really restrict anything here on solarchat so we rely on the users to keep it all running smooth. T...

looking forward to seeing everyone this coming Sunday at 1800 GMT for our monthly solarchat meet up. I’m not sure what Alexandra has in store for us ;), but we will meet up and say hello and find out. here is the Zoom information: Stephen W. Ramsden is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

a beautiful image for sure

these are fantastic Gus. I had to share these on our Facebook page as well. Nice work.

nice and clear! good post.

definitely agree . of course it costs ten times as
much and performs accordingly.

The Player One camera is 1608 pixels across and the PGR is 2768 pixels at max resolution. The P1A has some banding issues and it’s a lot smaller image so less processing wiggle room. The PGR was $3500 though and the Player One was $399 :) i’ve been using the PGR for almost 10 years and I’m very fami...

This next batch was from the same time using the Player One Astronomy Apollo M-Max at 125 fps on another 2013 iMac using Firecapture. Same scopes as above. P1A White Light full disk monochrome.jpg P1A White Light full disk colored.jpg P1A White Light closeup sunspot.jpg P1A White Light closeup monoc...

These first ones were all caught at 7 fps using a 6MP PGR Grasshopper Express/ASTRO-PHYSICS STARFIRE 130MM, Baadar Wedge, Lunt B1800 CaK module, and an externally double stacked Lunt LS100mm. All captured and processed on a 2013 iMac using ASTRO IIDC/Photoshop/Topaz. PGR White Light Full Disk 2.jpg ...

This is the RAW video from the Player One Apollo M Max camera on the externally double stacked Lunt LS100 of a flaring event on March 19th around 1630 UTC.

In order to streamline things, I also deactivated anyone who hasn’t logged in since 2015-1-1. We found 27 active and known spammer accounts on the forum that were also deleted. If any of these inactive accounts were you, I can reactivate you if you like before 2024-1-1 after which you will be perman...

I'd go with #1, also.

sorry everyone. I didnt notice the date on these posts. Something about Fridays messing about sent these to me as new…lol

hmm. oh well. better late than never.

it was an interesting couple of days.

Thanks for your patience and thanks for uploading these wonderful images

I consider all of us here to be friends and partners in keeping this wonderful and forum alive. The denial of service attack that we experienced on Friday brought to light several issues that needed addressing and I learned a lot from it. I feel like the forum’s speed has significantly increased aft...
