Terrible seeing Sun 16/02/2015

[Ant]

The seeing was terrible as I mentioned in a different thread...

All my disc shots were bin material, but strangely the proms came out ok.

Full disc in Ha.

Full Disc in white light - this was taken with a ST102 - with just the little centre part open on the dust cap (with solar filter obviously)- and even then I had to use a Long Pass Filter to darken the image down, and even then it was 1/10000 of a second (the camera doesn't go any lower!)

A wide angle shot of some proms.

Finally some proms.

Hope you like.

Cheers

Very nice proms indeed. The H-alpha disk is a bit over exposed, but is showing detail.

Nice work Ant. Like the proms.

Nice work, I caught the proms visual this morning, great stuff

Nice proms, Ant, and still a lotta detail to see on the disc.

at least you are getting to see some sun, I admit I am too, but not at times I can image

Thanks guys!

Being unemployed does have it advantages I can get the scope out any time I want!

Yeah it is over exposed Michael, I'm not very good at the very low power shots. I really struggle with the sweet spot. If I get that right the outside of the disc is way too dark and vice versa!

Really don't know what to do about it.

Not that bad, you have all the main points of interest and fantastic proms :)

Not too bad at all!
