Hello Everyone.

Here are two Ca II disk images from the 21June session, taken at the H1r and H3 lines.

Cheers.

Thanks Mark and Walter.

I forgot something! Here is a spectral sweep through the Ca H line - an animation of 35 frames at a step of 0.028A per frame from the red to the blue side. The processing isn't all that great, but the animation really makes the filaments stand out (mid-sweep in H3).

Cheers.
Peter.

EDIT: I apologize for the size of this animation. The 640x480 version was too large to upload.

Thanks Stu, Alexandra and Mark.

Here's a link to a somewhat larger animation. Ideally, I'd like to post full size (somewhere).

Thanks, Alex.

Mark, what's the secret? I tried to upload the 640x480 but it wasn't accepted because the file size was greater than 3MB ! I see you've got a 6.46MB gif there!

Cheers.
Peter.

Thanks, Stephen.

There must have been some kind of glitch. Since Mark already posted a reasonable sized version of the animation, I'll wait until I have a new one to try again.
