White light AR2339 and 2343, 16th May

[Luke]

Hi all,

It was nice to get some white light on Saturday, it has been in short supply this year due to pottering around too much with my Quark and the unpredictability of our weather so far - as soon as I swap over to the Herschel wedge, the stealth clouds move in!

Thanks for looking, Luke

Whether h-alpha or white light it's quality as usual, Luke Thank you for sharing.

They get better with each new post, can't wait to see the next set

Brilliant resolution.

The granulation you've captured especially in the last image is sweet.

[Pete Presland]

Looking very good plenty of detail. Sometimes i think white light offers the best views/images especially for large active regions.

Cracking images Luke, I've just got myself a Lunt wedge although I can't see any of my images being as good as yours lol.

[Davey-T]

Good stuff Luke, no luck here today.

Very nice Luke, I found you can get some nice 'white light' images while the Q tunes up.

Good point, Ewan, though normally I can only see a tree though the Quark while it warms up!!   (mornings I set up ready to shoot as soon as it clears the tree!)  I tried getting a full disc with my 60mm scope and Quark a little while back and it had a bit of a white light feel to it, I wonder if the tuning needs adjusting a lot for that setup

Speaking of the tree, I must try to dig out a shot I never got round to processing. By luck I caught a silhouette of a bird on top the tree ruffling its feathers.

Super WL images :) this year the weather has been terrible so you did well.

Thanks, Tich!

That's good news with the Herschel wedge, that is a very big shiny up there I guess your ED80 is the chosen one for the wedge? Lovely scopes for solar, those SW ED fracs! I don't have the 80 but have seen some lovely images done with them - no pressure!   Can't wait to see your first one.

No pressure at all then Luke lol lol lol, yeah the ED80 will be the one I'll be using it with, I did have a quick look at the sun with it on Saturday but I never had time to try to image with it, maybe I'll get a shot at it this weekend
