Daystar Sodium Quark and Airylab HaT - 7th July

Post by marktownley »

Hi everyone,

Way to busy of late, and despite excellent weather my mount has been misbehaving too. Anyway, got a bit of time on Saturday morning so fired off a load of exposures on the grounds that one of them would be the best. Here it is with the 203mm Airylab HaT and the Daystar Sodium Quark using a Baader 0.7x solar telecompressor with my IMX249 chipped PGR camera. Just a random shot mid disk.

The view is subtly different than white light with those little dark loops visible again:

The invert view is an interesting ones - it highlights the intergranular regions:

I want to hopefully get some shots of the decayed active region that has just come around.

Mark

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the experimentation.
These dark patches are quite peculiar. Interesting.
