April 5, 2015: 12 Pane Mosaic

Post by michael.h.f.wilkinson »

Managed to grab some data this morning with the Solar Spectrum kit. Very rich detail again at full resolution. Masses of spicules again. Morning seeing may be part of the reason for the added detail. The large filament seems to have lifted off, although some remaining pattern is visible.
