Sun FD in H-Alpha and CaK 14th of January 2022

Post by arnedanielsen »

Happy belated new year everyone!
After not being able to do any solar imaging for almost 2 months due to poor weather and low solar altitude, I finally managed to image our favorite subject again yesterday. It was a nice warm and clear day, but the Sun is still very low in the sky and the seeing was pretty bad. Anyway, it feels good to be back at solar imaging and I’m very much looking forward to imaging the increasingly active Sun this year!

Thank you very much everyone!

Alexandra: Good point... 10 days after perihelion is close enough for practical purposes, but would have loved to managed to take it at the exact date. :-)

Arne

Great images, Arne. It can be very frustrating at this time of year when conditions don’t cooperate. 2 months is a large chunk of time to be out of action.

Thank you very much Stuart and Ivan!

2 months is a very long time... my skills feels rusty and it takes some time to get back into the imaging-routine. Really looking forward to longer and warmer days.

Best regards,
Arne
