August 28, 2015: Last attempt at AR2403

Some detail shots from yesterday, using 2000 frames rather than my more usual 1000.

Part inverted + pseudo colour:

One really nice thing with the new laptop is that 2000 frames are captured in about 15 seconds. The SSD can (almost) keep pace with the ASI174MM frame rate. Only after 1000 frames at full throttle does the number of saved frames start to lag the number of captured frames ever so slightly. VERY handy

Superb, Michael!  I must admit, I don't often venture into the Solar section as I don't have any solar viewing/imaging equipment, but it does fascinate me... Being a home/mobile worker, a friend of mine has been trying to convince me to "go solar" for some time as in theory I do have plenty of opportunity, but I fear it would be WAY too distracting and I'd end up getting no work done.

It still amazes me though that images such as these can be pulled out of the sky in just 15s, when I'm used to DSO images taking 12 hours+... but I suspect it took a tad longer to process .

Very nice images once again. It will be sad to see this AR disappear beyond the limb, but interesting to see if it reappears. Thanks for posting.

A lovely set.  The last one works particularly well for me.
