AR 3004 May 6th 2022

Post by Alun_H »

Thin hazy cloud and unsteady seeing hampered most of my Ha and Cak imaging (all recordings went in delete bin) but I did salvage this white light image of AR 3004 I took using my C9.25 @ f/10 with full aperture Baader photographic solar film and QHY5III 178M/Baader solar continuum filter using region of interest.
70% of a 2000 frame SER stacked in Autostakkert,wavelet sharpened in Astrosurface and finished in PS CS2,two versions of the same image,one being false coloured.
