20131226 X'mas He-D3, Ca-H, H-a, H-b

Post by Wah »

I have found interesting bright line of He-D3 when the slit is on the edge of the sun.





I am not able to get obvious darkening active regions on the solar suface, but still be able to process out the brightest proms on the left.
I think it is because my spectroscope dispersion is still not good enough for this line.




The Ca-H is worse than before after tuning the spectroscope last night.




But the H-a is better this time





And the H-b is the best for today
