FD image in H-Alpha on December 1st.

Post by arnedanielsen »

Dear all,

Attached is a FD image of the Sun in H-Alpha obtained with my ultraportable Coronado SolarMax 60II / ASI 1600MM PRO / SkyWatcher SolarQuest setup.
I think this is my best result with this setup so far – despite the low solar altitude of only 8,5 degrees above the horizon.

Best regards,
Arne

You definitely made the most of it, despite the low altitude this time of year. Looks good!

It looks VERY good to be so low. And I also have a SolarMax II 60. It's certainly more portable than my SolarMax II 90 is.
