Solar imaging session from 18th February 2021
Hi all, sorry for the two day delay in posting these. Haven't had time to make a mask for the 80ed either so apologies for that too. Lunt 60DS and 80ed baader K-Line. Had my covid vacintaion which made me feel not to well yesterday but a little better today. I could possibly have done a little better with the post processing.

Re: Solar imaging session from 18th February 2021
Well Nigella, where do I start..
Fantastic, Fabulous, Beautifully-processed and whatever else, for such interesting captures.
Filaments, Prominences and those spots too, are so well coloured and presented and so many to look through too.
Thank you for sharing your work and wish you well over the jab..
Cheers
Terry

Re: Solar imaging session from 18th February 2021
What an amazing solar harvest
I love the filaprom, the colours, the full discs .... if only I had a day off work or some sunshine at the weekend to sit and soak up the Sun
I'm having solar withdrawal

Re: Solar imaging session from 18th February 2021
Thanks Alexandra, appreciate your comments. Hopefully you'll get some sunshine next weekend, forecast is better but it's still fairly long range for our climate. Looking forward to the zoom meeting if I can get it working, lol.

Re: Solar imaging session from 18th February 2021
Hi Nigella, your "tweaked" PSX_20210220_232339.jpg (360.33 KiB) is one of the best I've seen this year and longer too.
You've got the balance between proms and surface detail - perfect and the colouring is just right too.
Thanks for sharing

processs so I'm going to try and replicate it again when I've got some more images. I should really write down the work flow so I remember, lol.
