Solar Montage 28th April 2011

[astroshot]

Seeing was awful this morning again but I thought I would give a montage a try for a change.

Some nice detail on the disc - solar activity has definetly picked up since last summer.

If you are thinking of getting a h-alpha scope, now is the time.

Series of video clips - 1,500 frames each.

Processed in Avistack2 and Photoshop.

Images taken with TEC140, Coronado Solarmax90 filter, 2x Celestron Ultima barlow and DMK21 camera.

Very nice montage. The fiery nature of the solar surface is brilliantly displayed.
