SUN (20120406) WL, CaK & H-alpha (BAD SEEING)

Post by Pedro »






Today the seeing was very bad (after some rain showers) (1/5). I managed however to obtain some nice and crisp full disk images. Image processing can do wonders.

Check it out (LINKS for full size images are below)

Pedro, just remember a day of bad seeing is better than a day of overcast! :(

You're absolutely right. I had lots of clouds today and a few moments of clear skies ;)
