Hi Alexandra,

Escellent start of the Year 2019 with superb images of the Sun.

saludos Rainer

Hi,

My personal appreciation on many images is that sometimes we tend to use too much Wavelets and that intoduces a grainy seeing or as I call it sandy like the sand on the beach.

It sometimes happens to me too ...

regards rainer

Hola Pedro,

Great images and with this we close 2018 and let us see what brings us 2019 ...

Happy New Year 2019

Rainer

Hi Stephane,

Great image of the Sun on the last day of 2018. That lower filament did really grow big and the Prominence is huge for being in a minimum.

Here in central Mexico since 3 days only Clouds clouds and clouds

Happy New Year

Rainer

Hi Rainer,
SOHO shows it as 2729. Not sure about the discrepancy. Either way, there’s a lot of details to be seen in the disk’s central area in your capture.

Hi Christopher,

Thanks. Good to know that I have to check a few pages. Yes strange that there is a discrepancy.

That's a dandy shot of the AR there Pedro.

Hi Christopher,

You mention AR but after checking in Spaceweather.com there is no AR mentioned ... Looks like a perturbation oly which has not reached AR denomination yet ...

Thanks Mike, Christopher, Stu and Alexandra. Well the Quantum Daystar I bought in April this year at NEAF 2018 is a PE grade and 0.4Å Ångstrom. I did setup the focus point for the camera using an opaque filter (milky) and then I just changed from that to the Quantum wioth camera and nothing. moved i...

Hi, Between two banks of mocinh high clouds I managed to get this full disk. As always a 9 image mosaic taken with my 60mm double stacked Coronado on a 900mm Takahashi FSQ 85ED scope. BTW my Quantum PE grade 0.4Å did not see anything. Will have to talk to Daystar and see why it is more or less blind...

Hi Franco,

Hi, As some of you know I got two new mounts in April and sometime in August / September this year I finished installing them. Now that I have time 24/7 I did some tests with this new mounts, two iOptorn CEM 120EC2, in order to see how good they track in Solar tracking rate. I have to say they are f...

As I work, I find that the sun only shines from Monday-Friday, so I guess when you retire the Sun won't shine at all

Alexandra

Well, I will try to find a pseudo job from Monday to Sunday and fool the Sun

... and I do not know if this is the right place for this post

Hi,

Now that I am retired I have all the time I need for Sun Imaging but what is missing is the Sun and what I have plenty are Clouds



regards Rainer

PD There is no place for posts like this in the forum

Hi Franco,

All great images.

WOW that plane was in big trouble flying upside down :-)

I like the Woodpecker images.

Great and regards Rainer

Hi Eric... I don't see the Lumenera cameras listed on the Firecapture support list. I still have several Lumenera cameras and wind up using Lucam to control them, but Heiko isn't doing any updates that I am aware of.
