First light with the Quark Prominence filter 25th Oct

[dazzaa1966]

Seeing not great due to the haze.

Very nice detail, despite seeing. We're the surface shots also made with a prominence version of the Quark?

Very nice !

[dazzaa1966]

Thanks Michael and Seo.

Yes Michael the surface shots were also taken with

Quark Prominence. I was quite surprised with the detail.

Great shots Dazza   How do the two versions of Quark compare?

[Davey-T]

Very nice detail, is it down to the Quark or the Esprit ?

[David Smith]

Excellent result Dazzaa. Great to see how well the surface images have come out with the Prominence Quark.

[dazzaa1966]

Shaun with my first session with the quark prominence I have no

regrets in selling the chromosphere version.

Dazza,

I think the results clearly show that   would you say you enjoy visual as much as AP ?

[dazzaa1966]

Thanks David. Like I said I was so surprised with surface detail

I had to double check I actually had the prominence version.

[dazzaa1966]

Thanks Shaun. For me 100% AP.

[Davey-T]

Not sure how Daystar distinguish between what's a Prom and what's Chromo version, do they just sort through the production run and separate them or purposely make both versions ?

Very nice set of Solar images. You must be well pleased with your first light results.

[paulastro]

Amazing chromosphere detail for a prominence version, very impressive, thank you for sharing.

[swag72]

I really do admire the shots that you solar guys get out of your equipment - Well done

[Luke]

Lovely shots, very interesting, dazzaa. Were exposure times much shorter than with your Chromo?

With my ASI174 at a fast frame rate, I have to whack up the gain to get the image bright enough with my Chromo, so I wonder if a Prominence would help pull the gain back down a lot.

Seems funny, having too dark an image wiith the sun

[dazzaa1966]

Thanks Luke. My exposure times are about halved with the

Prominence.

[Tyson M]

Prominence version doesn't seem to popular with people wanted the narrower bandpass chromo. These images say the contrary. Spectacular proms and surface detail! 

[Pete Presland]

Captured some lovely fine detail in the proms, looks very good on the surface as well.

[Highburymark]

Very impressive

[Herra Kuulapaa]

This makes me think about the real difference between those two models in the end..

[Montana]

Spectacular proms :)
