I have been waiting for what seems like ages to get some time to test out my Quark Chromosphere that was replaced under warranty... I managed several hours of testing yesterday; the seeing was well below par but early results are that this one should do the job on Solar Prominences quite nicely. I u...

I think I got lucky after lunch Martin. The wind was from the South where I am protected. The Solar Scintillation Monitor and Telescopius were in agreement that things had improved in the afternoon. Though much of my morning session was discarded, I can see you have finer detail around AR 3628 than ...

Great shots and I admit, I love filaproms when inverted in an animation! They just look alive! Thanks Warren. Came up a bit darker on my phone than it looked when I posted it. I might revisit but I am with you inverted images serve their purpose and animations of thick snaking filaproms are a great...

Peterm · Re: WL FD 10/4/24 So many little spots! Well done.

So many little spots! Well done.

These look really great Eric! Hope you are all good with the treatment on your nose. Ironic in a way ...imaging the Sun that might be the cause!

These are great Warren. I wondered what I will be using in 2028 at Ralphs place'. Technology will no doubt surprise/shock us!

G'Day from Down Under! I managed just short of 90 minutes on the NE limb of the Sun this afternoon (my time). The animation shows AR3635 and a filaprom on the limb. Presented as an inverted image to better show the Filaprom. Captured UT 2024/04/11 02:23 to 03:51 A couple of happy snaps including a...

Peterm

Challenging day for a whole host of reasons. So I didn't start until late and that put me in the Western danger zone, well for me anyway. Add to that an increasing Jetstream, with the end results as seen in the 110 minute animation. I had to delete a number of frames to even get it to this, but its ...

This is FAB Nic!

These are amazing. Absolutely very top of the top shelf images Petr!

When I received my 80mm DS unit I had the tuners behind each other. I followed Warren's suggestion to rotate them to find best position which seems to be where the 2 pressure tuners are at 180degrees to each other. I haven't yet tried full disk other than mosaics. I will get around to it with my 533...

Dedication rewards, well done!

Peterm

Well done Martin, that looks like it means business! I wasn't even able to look at sky today.

Peterm

Thanks all, this now looks more like it is AR3628 which hadn't been named on Spaceweather or Solar Synoptic chart when I caught this yesterday. AR3627 was noted just to the East. I can't image today but I am more convinced my catch is actually the larger AR3628 after looking at GONG just now.

Peterm

These look fab Ralph. I really like the SE area detail you have captured. My animation of that area has a lot of mushy seeing in it.

Peterm

Seeing was somewhat on the improve this morning though there were moments when it went to mush. But I did manage to capture 2 hours of emerging AR3628 on the Suns Eastern limb from UT 2024/04/03 00:02 to 02:12

Peterm

This is very interesting thanks so much for posting John.

Thanks Martin, yes I knew it was you. Hope you spoil your wife rotten today while shopping, but please no Astro gear!

Thank you very much Petrus. Yes they were. With the double stack, 5X Powermate and 432MM.

Peterm

These are stunning in every way Ralph.

Peterm

Great presentation of your images Arne!

Peterm

Nicely presented Petrus.

Peterm

Yay, a clear morning for a change. I have been too long out of the saddle so a bit rusty. I did manage 3 shortish animations, though seeing/conditions were not up to par in my morning session. First up the Northwestern Prominence area where I was trying to bring out more of the fainter detail conne...

Peterm

Fabulous work Martin. That animation came up really nice. I gave up when the western cloud came in but looks like it improved later.

Peterm

Great presentation Stu!

Peterm

And that nicely sums up why all the chaos for the last 10 days!

Peterm

Thanks for presenting Franco. I use the Daystar Interference Eliminator, but it may add just as much space as the ZWO tilter. I assume you don't use an extension tube that you could leave out. The Daystar is more expensive than the ZWO tilter but I find easier to remove the NR.

Peterm

This is fabulous Ralph! To see the chaos of the last few weeks side on is amazing.

Peterm

Just catching up on these, the Diskman for sure, super images Paul!

Nice work Paul, adds even more to my deprivation of Solar for a week!

Peterm

These are very impressive. Nice to see your set up with the Solar protective shield.

Peterm

Nice work Cyber.. Man there's some nice detail in there!

Peterm

Lovely image, just adds to my Solar deprivation!

Peterm

Solar acne! Nice work!

Peterm

You da Diskman Paul. Superb image!

Peterm

Well these absolutely look great John! I haven't seen the Sun for a week from the Gold Coast, Sunshine State.. ha the irony!

Peterm

This is a fabulous presentation of very fine work. The disks steal the show, BravO!

Peterm

Really wonderful animation. BravO!

Peterm

Great report James...geez I haven't seen the Sun in 5 days and not good next few days.

Peterm

Wonderful capture John.

Peterm

That is a fine image!

Peterm

Yay the sky finally cleared for you...may be many more days yet for me.

Absolutely amazing images and animation Ralph. Quite sharp, there is so much going on in that animation with many small scale swirls, twists and rings all over the place. Top shelf!

Peterm

These Disks look absolutely great Franco job well done! The AI Sunset is about as bizarre as what my friend sent me when he used Co-Pilot to produce an image of a Meade 16inch LX200 on an EQ8 ... looked like a SteamPunk creation!

Peterm

This is amazing Warren and done with the SeeStar... it's now on my wish list!
