Solar Activity in Ca II K, Continuum & Ha June 23

Post by Solbrillante »

Attached is a selection of Ca II K, Continuum and Hydrogen Alpha images taken today through an Orion ED80T Triplet using a Lunt B600 Ca II K filter and a SolarMax II (single stack) on a HEQ 5 Pro mount. The camera used was ZWO174MM.
Seeing was poor and I was very lucky to have recorded these images as most of the sky was filled with light Cirrus clouds.

Details as follows.

Ca II K
Orion ED80T Triplet
Lunt B600 Ca II K filter

Continuum
Orion ED80T Triplet
Baader Solar Film ND5
Baader Continuum Filter
Astronomik IR Filter

Hydrogen Alpha
Coronado SolarMax II 60mm (Single Stack)

Regards,
Gerard

A beautiful set of images at the different lights, Gerard. The CaK version of the large filaprom is very impressive for its resolution !

Very impressive work Gerard. I love the first Ha image. It shows both filament and prominence areas of the big western filaprom very well. The CaK prom closeup is great too!!
