Thursday Sun in Ha 16th June 2022

Post by Carbon60 »

Just a couple in Ha on my 150 mm refractor at f34. The sky was troubled with high level haze which was getting worse by the minute, as was the seeing. Anyhow, I managed a couple of shots aimed at the two main active regions before I decided to pack up for the day.

Setup/processing:
Basler acA1920-155 um
2.5x PM
Genika Astro capture (SER 8-Bit)
AS!3 stacking
ImPPG deconvolution/stacking
PixInsight refinement and colouring/inverting.

AR13030 and 13032

Hi Dennis,
Both were taken double stacked. Processing also accentuates the effect.

Stunning images, Stu! I believe these DS images are the best I ever saw from your 6" refractor.

When I see such images from you, I always regret you didn't use your big cannon RC250.
