Time Lapse of 23 July Solar Flare

Post by yltansg »

This was the setup used on 23 July 16.

Image

Baader D-ERF + Celestron 150mm refractor + ARIES collimating lens + Lunt 50THa (Single etalon) + 5x televue barlow (oversampling) + ASI174mono
Poor seeing condition with many passing clouds

Some images recorded then:

I did 90 sets of 200-frame recording with a gap of 10 seconds. A still frame is made by stacking 100 frames from each of the 200 frame recording. A time lapse movie was made from the 90 frames of stills.

In BW:

Thanks Franco and Tyson.

The flaring was incredible. So much happened between 1pm and 1:30 pm local time. Clouds covered the Sun during some of the time and as a result there were gaps in my video capture. Still I am glad to have captured most of it.

Thanks Derek and Mark for leaving an encouraging note.

The weather has been poor lately. I am still looking for opportunity to image without the front D-ERF and also less the Lunt ERF in double stacked configuration.
