Nice comparison in wavelengths there Ruslan.
Just a suggestion, but why not start a "New Topic" when you have had another imaging session so your new images don't get lost in a long topic.
Have you caught the NW prom lifting off? It looks very faint in your Ha image.

Yes, interesting details appear in calcium compared to the continuum. However, this is not Lant :) I'm thinking about making a Sol'Ex.

I think that when I create a new topic, the image will then be lost for sure. And so all my images are in one topic, especially since I often photograph the Sun.

The prominence on NW turned out to be weaker than I thought. Maybe I missed all the fun :D

Re: Solar imaging by Star Hunter

Again, I notice the K-Line image first. Yours shows the faculae across the disk very well. Better than many other K-Line images I have seen. They seem hard to pull out of the background. I think your dark coloration may help a bit. Those faculae are of low contrast especially towards the disc center.

This reminds me of a recent post by Christian Viladrich, I think. He mentioned that the " faculae " seen towards the center are not true faculae at all but intragranular lanes. Faculae are generally not visible from straight above. Faculae are the bright walls of the granules seen from the side and being near the limb against the darkening of the limb they are easier to see. Looking from above the walls of the granules cannot be seen and one is looking straight down upon the intragranular lanes. The individual bright points making up the lanes are only visible with great seeing, large aperture and with short wavelength filters but the lanes themselves should be visible with normal-sized equipment and a filter like the Antlia K-Line 3nm filter. I think the channels that form the lanes are associated with both faculae and the intragranular bright points, just viewed from different perspectives.

It's another interesting field of solar study. I am trying to understand it.

Very nice job, Ruslan!

Some super discs there :bow :hamster:

James, in CaK you see the supergranulation cells (large scale network). You are also seeing residual plage from either former active regions or plage from active regions yet to develop. The plage hangs around from 4-6 weeks pre and post AR development. I hope this helps :)

Alexandra,
That is true, especially in ultra-narrowband CaK but this is an Antlia CaK 3nm wedge. Much wider bandpass than a Lunt CaK module. Here one is seeing more into the photosphere than in the lower chromosphere. Maybe that 3nm wedge does better on true CaK lower chrom features than many of us think?

I dunno. I don't have either. Soon I hope.

James

Like their plage counterpart, faculae do the same. Show up before a region blows up and persists after it dies. Faculae are hard to study across the disc in white light though because they are only visible near the limb.

Ruslan,
Your Ha image shows what I found out today. The plages were hard to see visually and appeared just as small low contrast disturbances. The spots were actually just as easy to see as the plages were. The filaments were easier than both! I'll post my visual report shortly.

Nice job on all three images.

I love your solar cat avatar!!

Ruslan,
That's a nice image! You took this just a bit before I observed the Sun. I think we are about 8 hours apart in local time.
