Fabulous images, Philippe. Very nice 'galloping horse' prom.

A nice haul, Michael. Worth putting off the shopping for.

Good catch.

Lovely cloud and shadow formation, Derek.

Great images, Valery. Nice contrast and detail, despite the high cirrus clouds.

Great image, Valery. Nice resolution, with lots of fine details.

Great images, Pedro. Fabulous solar (particularly CaK) and interesting drone shots.

Many thanks everyone. It seems that many of you are experiencing the same weather/seeing challenges as I am. Let's hope things improve soon, for all of us!

Cheers.

Superb images, Christian. Very impressive indeed. I think there is also further detail buried in the image data which I'm sure people on this forum would love to have a go at retrieving. I hope you don't mind, but here's my quick attempt using the jpeg image, so not ideal and full bit depth images w...

I was really struggling this morning to get anything worthwhile, even with my Lunt60 THa as seeing was poor and I just couldn't seem to achieve the degree of focus and contrast that I was totally happy with. Still, this was the first solar imaging session for a while and I was determined to at least...

Great images, Pedro, as usual.

Fabulous Birthday images, Philippe.

Warm welcome, Lars. Great first images.

Great results under difficult conditions, Mike.

Nicely done.

Very nice FDs, Mark. I got home just too late after driving for over 4hrs from Bedford through stop-start traffic! Darn M6 motorway.

Great images, as always, Derek.

Stu.

Carbon60

Excellent, Mark. Looking forward to seeing more as summer develops.

Nice new 'toy'!

Well deserved SPoD, Alexandra. Congrats.

Stu

Carbon60

Cool scope. Great image.

Stu

Another excellent crop, Pedro.

Stu.

Great images, Mike, despite the conditions. Should be excellent when good seeing and clear skies prevail.

Stu.

Cheers Alexandra/Mark.

Carbon60

Many thanks, Peter. This is really interesting and it somewhat justifies my process of converting terrestrial magnetic data into solar wind sounds. There does appear to be a correlation between the two. A better understanding of the true relationship would likely come from the availability of more s...

Beautiful FDs, Alexandra with lovely detail.

The skies cleared here too, but as with Mike, just porridge through the remaining haze! Oh well.

Stu

Flat, or star field!?

Yea, I think it needs a good clean

Lovely photo's Derek.

Nicely done, Pedro.

ImPPG is a great piece of image enhancement software, thanks to GreatAttractor. Mark also introduced me to it last year.......top man.

Your learning and persistence paid off..... great images!

Nicely imaged, George.

More clouds here today

Nice images, John.

Welcome to SolarChat. I endorse Christian's comments about the Basler acA1920-155um camera. This is what I use and find it to be an excellent choice, although you'll no doubt get a plethora of opinions as we all have our favourites......

Date correction....... charts should say 11th March!!

G2 geomagnetic storm resulting from a CME impact, here captured on my magnetometer in the UK and compared with professional data from France (Chambon la Foret). The data match extremely well and illustrate the rapid, transient, nature of the impact event which lasted only an hour or so. Thanks for l...

Carbon60

Very interesting, Peter. Would you prefer the data in excel format? BTW, I've now converted the data into sound using MIDI to create a solar wind sound. Maybe more art than science, but hopefully interesting nevertheless. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1567/25381467560_a84fe4324b_o.jpg Solar Storm 2...

Carbon60

Thanks Mike/Peter. Peter, it's an interesting thought. I could send you the data, no problem. Basically it's just a CSV file of time vs frequency, or I could send it as an excel file. As for the physical origin, the interplanetary magnetic field, as measured by ACE and presented by NOAA, showed wild...

Carbon60

It looks like you did capture the minor event (the shape is correct). Radio Skypipe does a lot of auto-rescaling, so even minor signals show as large events until a larger event happens and everything else is downscaled in comparison. The trick is to always ensure that your clock is accurately set a...

Great images, Derek.

Interesting thread, guys.

Fabulous images, Philippe.

Lovely detail.

Many thanks, Alexandra/Mark.

It was a huge surprise this morning when I turned to Spaceweather.com for my morning fix and saw my chart in full view.

Cheers

Stu

Carbon60

Wow, Mark. Can't wait to see some more images when the weather plays ball.

Nice!

Stu.

Carbon60

Very nicely done, Mike.

Stu.

Carbon60

Good comparison, Mike. What conclusions do you draw from these results?

Stu.

Carbon60

Cracking pics, Derek. Proper nature reserve!

Nice solar too.

Stu

Carbon60

Many thanks, Derek, Mark, Mike and Alexandra. Mike. I don't know if your magnetometer is still up and running, but you might want to change the filter value in the spread sheet (cell H4) from the default value to maybe 25-35 in order to enable the chart to display the magnetic perturbations properly...
