Nov 17 solar activity

Post by JimLafferty »

Hi Folks-

Work is hectic but I finally managed to squeeze a few images in on Nov 17. These are with a Pt Grey Chamaeleon camera and a variety of scopes and configurations. Lunt 100/DS/Luntanado/ES127ED/ES80ED. and a Lunt solar wedge. Seeing was lousy, but the sun was too active to pass up.

Excellent images Jim :bow:

You have an interesting pattern in the umbra of the large sunspot in the Ha images...don't think I've seen that sort of feature before!

Some nice work in there Jim.
The ASI 120 is a really good performer. Pity about the gamma on the Skyris, I supect it limits its performance especially on prom work.

Thanks all--as I mentioned seeing was really "iffy".
Brian and Alexandra--yeah--you can see a bit of that feature in the umbra in Dereks inverse shot in todays photo of the day. Not sure if it looks like Jesus, though lol.
