Thanks Ivan.

I eagerly await what you can do with it.

Dennis,
I usually observe and/or image white light first. Seeing often does vary and sometimes I do catch a good moment. Lowering the exposure may help too, I agree.

James

Warren,
I think this is the flare you caught. It's still of a respectable strength.


Nice job!!

James

For the october eclipse, which is partial from NC I will use both 540nm continuum and Ha. Or that's at least my plan.

James

It looks like a liftoff caught from above. I'll read Warren's link and learn more.

I love the loop-over double prom. Also the inverted discs are very nice.

James

WoW!! Daniel, this is incredible! Very nice resolution. Was this from a standard newtonian reflector? What focal ratio?

Two thumbs up!

James

All are nice but I really like the prom shots.

I do wish I could have gotten it on my own equipment though.

Thank You Arne.

I have gotten flare alerts but am not home.

Ditto that! Me too.

Thanks Eric! Have a good weekend.

Today not having time to set up my own equipment I accessed the Slooh Lunt 60 telescope on Mt. Teide for a couple of Ha captures. These were just before 14:00 UTC. The temperature for Teide National Park where the observatory lies is 61F ( 16.1C ). Online!.JPG Happy Friday! Carpe Cerevisi!! 🍷 🍻 Jame...

Very nice Gband image!

Thanks, Mark, Pedro, Stu and Jordan. I won't be observing over the next couple of days due to being so busy, unless it's a quick solar binocular view or using Slooh.

Enjoy " Beer O' Clock ", Mark.

James

Thanks Nic!

Spotty, yes. WooHoo!!!

WoW, these are superb!!

So many spots all around, these are fabulous James :bow :hamster: it is so nice to have at least a relaxing hour all to yourself to enjoy the Sun. I'm sad because mine are coming to an end and back to work on Monday :( Alexandra The Sun certainly has developed a bad case of acne, that's for sure! T...

Thanks, Alexandra, Franco, Peter and Warren. Alexandra, I hope you can squeak out another imaging session or two before Monday comes.

James :-)

Thanks Jim and Alexandra.

Alexandra, I would love to have a CaK wedge. I wish I would have bought one four years ago when they were much more affordable. They have gotten so much more expensive now. But still, hopefully I will get one in the future.

James

I agree with Valery. The filaments in CaH are awesome. I cannot speak from experience on this wavelength but the detail shown here is amazing.
