halpha sun of March 19

Post by stef41 »

Good evening, everyone,

my first sun in confinement mode (I don't know why, but I have a feeling it won't be the last!) and since the shooting windows in my garden are rather narrow (especially in March), I had to wait until late afternoon to shoot him.

So still at the fs60 with its sm40 double stack, glasspath x1.25, BF10 and zwo178mm on staradventurer around 15h50 UT in a very milky sky.

a small active area, 2 - 3 prominences ... we've seen worse :)

sincerely,
stéphane - France

May your days in confinement be well ones.

That little Tak does a good job with the SM40 DS.
