After an early run in the rain the clouds cleared and left me with an almost cloud-free sky by 11am. Be rude not to get the scope out really wouldn't it? Glad I did, loads of spot activity, some nice proms in HA and Ca-K as well as some nice surface activity in HA! White light full disks to kick off That BIG spot up-close with the 3x barlow A bit of granulation, just because I like it! Ca-K full disks and close-up on AR13363. I did take some footage of the prom at "9 o'clock" using the barlow but did not come out well at all. Close-up done using the 2x barlow in Ca-K due to seeing and breeze! And finally in H alpha

high resolution Solar images. 25.06.2023
David Smith replied to Pete Presland's topic in Imaging - Solar
Ooh, some nice granulation 😍 I must do some high res wl at some point. Great shots Pete! -
Finally got another session in. Seems we are either busy on weekends at the moment or it's cloudy / raining / thundering. I did actually manage to image on the 4th but had to rush out on that day and only found the unprocessed data on the laptop this morning! Surprised to see some half decent seeing today, despite having to wait until midday to image. The usual White Light, Ca-K and H Alpha full disks below. Still struggle to get nice flat mosaics from my Quark and this one is particularly dodgy. Looks like the bottom right pane was shot and processed completely differently, it wasn't!

Nicely done. You still using the 1000D Steve?

Clear skies early this morning and working from home today so had some time to grab some solar. Conditions were far from ideal with passing cloud and variable seeing. Seeing actually settled a bit towards the end of the session so I went back and re-shot the white light. Should have done the same with the Ca-K really but ran out of time.

White light close ups are superb Dave -
Nice pair Dave, if you'll pardon the expression

Nicely done Dave. Weather not playing ball here 😢

Love the "concentric prom ring" Ca-K / HA comparison.
-
The weather certainly is a challenge. See you've not lost your touch though, great set.
