Ha, CaK and WL 20th January 2023

Post by Carbon60 »

A few images from this morning across the spectrum. Yet again the seeing conditions were not ideal, but the sky was beautifully clear on a cold, crisp day and there was zero wind, so at least the big cannon scope wasn't bouncing around.

Anyhow, here are the images:

Terrific results in less than optimal conditions, Stu. That is some sunspot. The filaments and chromosphere images are great too, last one is very 3D.

Wow Stuart there is some spectacular detail in those images, that last one of the filament is a killer image.

OMG I love your processing! Gorgeous details in each image. You must have captured that filament just before it erupted!
