The Sun - 22nd Aug 2015

[David Smith]

Well the Sun put in an appearance yesterday but it was not an easy imaging. Cloud early on gave way to variable seeing followed by more cloud. I shot the white light full disk through cirrus cloud as at that point I was not sure I was going to get anything else. Eventually the clouds did clear but the seeing was highly variable over fairly short periods of time. Hence from the20+ ser's that I took at different wavelengths the following is what I managed to save.

First up the white light FD's

Then some Ca-K @ 1000mm FL. 2 Pane mosaic, stitched in MS ICE.

Some proms in both Ca-K and H alpha. Very difficult to get any detail in the Ca-K proms especially with the seeing changing constantly.

And finally, AR12403 in 3 lights

Excellent set of images. That high cirrus was a bit of a problem yesterday.
