Sun FD in H-Alpha and CaK 8th of February 2022
Dear friends,
Clear blue skies all day and I was able to make use of the lunch-break for a quick imaging session. The huge prom on the SE limb had faded quite a bit compared to the last few days, but was still a nice sight. The seeing was quite bad, especially when I shot CaK, but I didn't have the luxury of being able to wait for moments with better seeing.
FD image in H-Alpha using a Coronado 60mm/BF15 w/Beloptik ITF, stopped down to 50mm, Baader 35nm H-Alpha and ASI 178mm mounted on a SkyWatcher SolarQuest.
FD image in CaK using a William Optics ZenithStar 61II, stopped down to 46mm, Lunt CaK 1200 module, Coronado 2x CeMax and ASI 183mm camera mounted on a SkyWatcher SolarQuest.

Best regards,

Very nice images Arne. Your Ha image easily outperforms it's GONG equivalents. Nice coloring too. And plages/faculae show so well in CaK!

Cracking images, Arne. Your Ha FDs are sublime. You even captured a lovely little loop prom in the west.

These turned out really well regardless of the conditions, Arne. I really like the tall prom in the circle of fire image.
