Another great set of images Dave . I have just compared them to sketches I made this morning and I must be getting better because they match up quite well lol.

Thank you. Do you post your sketches anywhere, I would love to see them. I am totally useless at sketching.

i love the 5th picture in particular - dramatic!

Thank you josefk. I presume you mean the full solar disc in H-alpha.

Dave

Very nice and sharp. Good work.

Dave

That's a lovely group of sunspots in the NE. Well done.

This last image is a mosaic of 15 frames with 3X Barlow. Click to see large version

Dave

Excellent Ewan. The animation is fascinating.

Dave

After a cloudy morning the sky unexpectedly cleared in the afternoon.

Dave

Very nice David.

Nicely done Dave. Nothing but rain here,

Thanks David. I was lucky. It was forecast to be clear most of the morning but it rapidly changed from very thin cloud to solid cloud.

White light close ups are superb Dave

Thanks David. The last one is with a 2x and 3x barlow and the best 100 frames out of 4000.

Dave

Firstly in white light with a continuum filter.

and finally in Halpha

Time and cloud did not let me explore that floating prom in the SW

Dave

Very nice, as usual.

Dave

This is a mosaic of 7 frames. I can get a full disc in one but this gives so much more detail. No impressive proms today.

Dave

Very nice.

Dave

Much cloud dodging involved today.

Dave

Brilliant!

Lovely image. That spiky prom was very visible during the total eclipse in Australia.

Dave

There are others from today on my website.

Dave

Looks OK. I use a Rowan tilt adapter but see no reason why the FLO one should not be alright,

Dave

I would certainly recommend the 174MM camera. It has a large chip which gives the full solar disc in one with my Lunt 80 and runs at just over 100 fps provided you use USB3 leads. A tilt adapter is effective to stop the interference bands.

Dave

Nice one David. Good to see you here again.

Dave

Excellent image. That AR only appeared yesterday. 

Dave

Very nice Michael.
