19 Oct 2020 - Sun in 3 colours

Post by yltansg »

Today marks the first day of a better weather season. The clouds and rain are going away.

Pulled out the small refractors for full disk imaging in 3 colours:

Saw the flares in H-Alpha and AR2776 in all 3 colours.

When you said three colors you meant three colors. Are you using a color camera on the images?

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your question. All videos were captured with monochrome cameras. The images were coloured in Photoshop. I used "3 colours" - to mean the 3 wavelengths and hence the colour of images. May be next time, I will mentioned wavelength instead of colour.

Thanks for the chance to clarify.

Thanks Franco, Terry and James for your kind comments.

The weather turned south today. However, we believe that the worst is behind us. We are looking to dry weather ahead. Flaring activities have also decreased.

The CAK and H-Alpha images were taken with a very old PGR Scorpion camera with vertical line problems. Looks like it may be time for me to retire the older cameras.
