AR1471 in Hydrogen Alpha

[Carbon60]

Managed to capture a few AVI's yesterday before the clouds rolled in here in NW. Tricky to get anything really suitable, but here's AR1471 in hydrogen alpha.

Processed with AviStack2, PixInsight,Gimp,Photomatix,Picasa3........so a lot of image processing!!

I hope you like it.

Cheers

Dark and brooding.......

Fantastic resolution. Well done!

What Ha system are you using????

Thanks Ken,

This was taken using a 150mm refractor with an internal 90mm ERF fitted with PST etalon and BF15. I used a 2.5X Televue Barlow to get to f25 and a DMK41 to capture the image in monochrome. Achieving a good image with this set-up can be a bit tricky, but I've found that rotating the BF and using a polarising filter on the camera seems to reduce any artefacts.

No sun to send unfortunately, but will do when it shows again!
