Sunspot 11416 in Ha and White light....11/02/12

Post by Richard »

Hi all, nice clearish day today, so had a play with the Lunt White light 2" wedge, using the BW webcam and 2xbarlow got 150 frames of 11416, stacked and processed.
Then turned to the PST, removed the eyepieces and fixed to the celestron diagonal, mounted the SM40 to the ED80 and with the 2.5 powermate and BW webcam took 150 frames.

They turned out quite well to say the Sun is still very low, and it was -2'...

Nice captures Richard! B)

You could try more frames to reduce noise a bit more - I stack 500 out of 1500...
