Full Disc & AR2752 | Nov 18th 2019

[MalVeauX]

Heya,

It's been raining for days and total cloud cover all through this week, but today it was cleared up for a while. Seeing was poor this morning. But I was able to get a little time on AR2752 which is still persistent. I looked at the photosphere and didn't notice any appreciable sunspot, but the activity in the chromosphere was still nice with a little mottling and a nice filament. If this persists as it approaches the limb, it could be interesting seeing it as a prominence over the active region.

Marty:
Super session, love the HR shots, hope that soon I will use the TEC 10" f/20 Maksutov with a full size Aries ERF.
Best regards,
Eric.

Brilliant, I didn't get chance to image at hight magnifications so only got the disk today. Well done.

Excellent session Marty.

Hi Marty...

A superb session with the full disk and closeups of the AR

Nice to see this region is continuing to develop.

Thanks all,

Later in the afternoon, it was still clear, so I figured I'd try to do some time lapse animation and grabbed data for an hour. Was mostly interested in the main filament in the active region to see it's plasma flowing around and of course any potential flare activity crackling in the plage area, but not much of that was going on.



Very best,

Hey Marty,

Great to see sunshine again, and your images. Beautiful hi-res shots and FDs. The animation is good and I enjoyed watching the small stuff fly around. Very cool.

Excellentt results, Marty

I like the high res of the AR the most.

FD, IMHO, is somewhat over sharpened and too contrasty. I'd advice to make less agressive processing for a FD images.

BTW. My company is ARIES, not Aires.

These are super Marty, I especially like the close ups and the timelapse, how I long to view the Sun again!

Apologies, I've corrected it.

Question: Would you mind please seeing your PM either here on SolarChat or CloudyNights from me? Trying to get the most out of the D-ERF, just need some information. If they're not coming through, I could email instead if you prefer. Just let me know? Thanks!

Very best,

These look good Marty!
