AR2738 in CaK

Post by bart1805 »

The idea for today was to image the sun in 5 wavelengths:
CaK
K-Line
Solar Continuum
White Light
H-alpha

But I only succeeded in taking one (1) AVI when the clouds rolled in.... So here is AR2738 in CaK.
100mm ED f/9 _ nosepiece of Lunt filter _ single K-line _ 2 PST#1 filters _ ASI290MM

The picture is clearly undersampled, so I tried 1,5x Drizzle in AS!3.

I kind of like the Drizzle version.

Thanks for watching!
Bart.

They came out well Bart. What do you think an ideal focal ratio with this scope and camera setup would be?

Thanks Franco and Mark!
Hard to say Mark, but I think somewhere between f/14 and f/16.

Interesting Bart, I can image reasonably regularly this time of year with 100mm CaK at f15 ish, the 290 with its small pixels and fast frame rate offers a pleasing proposition... That is a focal ratio I could reach with the HaT and a 540nm filter too for some white light closeups... I'm selling it to myself here aren't I :lol:

Nice images, Bart. The drizzle version looks great.

Lovely detail in the image Bart, and the drizzle version certainly looks the best to me.

Well done :bow

Super image despite your session being cut short. Are you using the Skywatcher Evostar scope? If so how do you think it compares with other scopes you have used for Cak?

Thanks guys!
No, it is an old Celestron 100mm F/9 ED. It is way better than the 150mm f/8 Skywatcher achromat.

Hello Bart,
I prefer the one without drizzle. Inverse granulation is lost in the drizzle version.

You are right Christian, I did not notice it before you mentioned it. Should try and reprocess the drizzled version. Thanks! Bart.
