Sunday Sun 22nd November 2020 - AR2783 & FD

Post by Carbon60 »

Hi all,

I had about 30 minutes of Sun this morning, so I used the limited time available to capture a Ha full disk and, with good seeing this morning, a close view of AR2783. My FDs are usually imaged with a Basler acA1920-155um, which work best as multi-pane mosaics to match the image scale with my Lunt 60 fitted with a 2.5x PowerMate. Recent single pane images using a 1.5x barlow have been under sampled. This morning I wanted to trial my Basler acA2440-75um with smaller pixels as an alternative. Usually this suffers from NRs like crazy, although today I managed to reduce these to almost nothing using a homemade tilted nosepiece. Unfortunately the FD doesn't quite fit onto the sensor by a whisker, so two panes were required (I'm sure I can address this with suitable spacing).

The close views were captured on my 150mm/Lunt 35 mod. The wider view is a mosaic of six images.

First up, Ha FDs on the Lunt. Tuning could have been tighter.

And the closer views with the 150mm mod.

It's amazing what you imagers can do in such a short time. I bought a ZWO camera but haven't had a chance to play with it at all. Between work, wife, babysitting kids, helping stepdaughter move and visiting Sarah, my daughter I have had little time. Solar observing, sleep and prayer being my only refuge. I'll get there in time. I am gonna start out imaging white light. I feel it would be easier.

Sounds like a good idea James, as starting at WL should be easy enough to get the feel of the camera and whatever computer is used.

Best Wishes

Hi

Nice images as usual.

I had a few sights of the big prom whilst having a play with my kit.

At one point it looked like it was made out of lace.

Later it looked like a cock hen standing on the left looking over a hen looking left.

Cheers. Andrew.

White light also seems easier with my DSLR and iPhone too. And visually it is easier too! :lol:
