Great Sunspot in AR2738 in High Res | HA & WL | April 12th 2019
Hey all,
I was greeted with good seeing and fairly clear skies this morning, so I was able to use the full aperture and I feel very close to the resolution potential of this solar scope finally as my pre-summer seeing is rolling in here in Florida. AR2738 is a wonderful spot with lots of intricate small details in the plage areas, tiny filaments, and wonderful "gills" around the umbra. Presented in hydrogen alpha and white light.
Equipment:
C8 Edge HD + Aires 200mm Tri-Band D-ERF + Baader 2" UV/IR Block Filter
Daystar Quark Chromosphere (F43)
ASI174MM + 0.5x Focal Reducer
PST + Solarmax 40mm II
ASI178MM
Very best,
