June 27 2021 AR2835 WL Ha C11

[LeoD]

Hi all,
I want to present today's session with moderate seeing, with some rare freezes was enough to use Aries DERF+C11+Quark+reducer about 0,4x. For WL - UV+SC filters with TZ-4.
Folks, you're welcome to vote for alter processing: mild, contrast, sharp and.. coloured Your opinions will be very valuable for my further processing attempts. Hope your enjoy such a multiple choice.
regards
Leo

Totally stunning images, Leo ! Both Ha and WL. Of the Ha, the first one is definitely my favorite processing. Well Done !

Fantastic captures. I like the fist one and WL best.

[DeepSolar64]

Very nice. I love the continuum images!

[DavidP]

I also prefer the first processing.
Very very nice images. You are really showing what a C11 can do.
I love the white light.

[Rusted]

What an amazing set of images!

Any one of them would be a lifetime achievement!

[Freddie]

Lovely images. The mild Ha is the one for me.

[Valery]

Very nice series of images, Leo! Congratulates. You becoming a monster in solar high res imaging.

I'd go with mild + some more sharpening (little!) without a contrast increasing in b/w H-a.
In the false colored H-a, I'd go a bit more contrast with deeper red and blackier filaments.

WL is better with yellow painting.

Thanks for sharing.

PS Can you, please, show us the sketch of how your balcony is oriented towards the south.

Fantastic images Leo - both H-a and WL. I also prefer the first (mild) version.

Excellent images with impressive resolution, great work!

[Carbon60]

These are really excellent, Leo. The middle monochrome Ha is the best of the three in my view.

Your seeing must have been head and shoulders better than mine this weekend.

Thanks you VM for votes and comments!!!
I see a mild processing is still preferable, not like engraving or graffity style, but everyone sometimes can't stop sharpening
Valery, thanks for your recommendations! We're lucky this season here in Moscow with more seeing opportunities for hires.
My balcony is SSW and the sun come out there from 09:30am only, till 17:00, when a tall building is a limit.
Following the processing mainstream, I wanna post another AR of today, pretty much left out without number.
thanks for looking

This last image is the best balance between mild and more contrasty. I'd say - ideal balance.

BTW The fact that the sun does not shines at your balcony earliest morning is a plus. You start to see the sun when it is at a good elevation above the horizon - not too much atmosphere for sun rays to come through and your balcony and the wall is not overheated. So, you have some amount of time in best possible in your case position of the sun.
Later - at the end of the summer and in September - October you will in a good position too with earlier sun.

Fantastic images Leo

[dhkaiser]

Well done, I vote first one and always mono.

[H-Alpha]

Leo this is absolutely fantastic!!!
Do you call this moderate seeing and you have such results with Hi-Res C11?
Then what with good or very good seeing? ;-)
I also vote for mild processing.
As personal taste, I would add a bit of levels to your B&W Hi-Res WL, to bring it a bit closer to your colour one.

Best wishes,
Alexandros

I like number 1 or 2, but then I do like the deep red too.

What a master

Alexandra

[Valtori]

Amazing captures, Leo!!
Resolution is very impressive!

Mild version is preferable, both WL and the last one is the best balanced!

Everyone has already said everything, joining the general opinion

[LeoD]

Thanks to everybody, you're very kind to comment my search.

Alexandros, concerning moderate seeing I only mentioned general level, which was not enough for 280mm to collect, for example, footage for animation with time frames, but may be Ok for 130mm. To start imaging it's nesessary to wait and wait for short seeng drops.

Finally I work out all 500Gb collected on Sunday. In conclusion, these are 2 small mosaics (3-4 frames) of the amazing AR area in SE quadrant.

Leo

[p_zetner]

Absolutely fantastic mosaics, Leo.
The detail and contrast is superb.
I was planning to try this in my June 27 session but the seeing wasn’t cooperating.
Very nice result.
Cheers.

[Valery]

New images are flawless, Leo.

I feel I don't need to set up my C11 and to image the sun. I can't do it better even if I want this very much.

Thanks for sharing. Wish you sunny days with a good seeing.

Fabulous mosaic addition, Leo!

Val

[VasilevIvan]

Those pictures are brilliant, Leo! Absolutely HiRes!

[MAURITS]

Excellent Leo, lots of details and very sharp.

[christian viladrich]

Regarding the first ones, my favorite is the first one.
The best balance is the one in your June 27 post. The processing is quite good, and the resolution way beyond a 200 mm. This is excellent !!
Thanks for sharing.

[EGRAY_OBSERVATORY]

Hello Leo, I'm not going to try and select which image of yours is best, as they are all exemplary.

You clearly have achieved a very high perfection-rate of imaging and processing, that must be difficult to better, so be proud of your achievements.

Thank you for sharing your work.

Terry

[MapleRidge]

These are excellent image Leo

Your captures and processing are top notch!

Brian

[LeoD]

Thanks for all the kind words! Very appreciated!
Since my first imaging of Mercury transit in 2016 with PST and a smartphone until now, it's always breathtaking, as I learn more, and a lot from you guys here on SC.
Clear skies

Perfect additions to the series, Leo
