Solar imaging showcase 2015

[MartinB]

Please use this thread to showcase your best images captured during 2015. Just one post per member but you can include up to 5 images if you want.

The thread is for all imagers novices and advanced. 

Please keep details to a minimum - scope and camera possibly along with a few comments.

The thread needs to be packed with images so please don't respond to the postings 

Showcases from previous years

Been a somewhat 'thinner' year for me compared to 2014's quest , completely by choice I might add  ... the fact that the "whitelight scene" has been much quieter in 2015 is purely  coincidental  ...   ... 

Was tempted out by any big spots though , so here are a few of the more interesting days ... 

Perihelion/Aphelion .

15th April .

22nd June .

19th September .

28th September .

Here's my favourite image of 2015

Couple still on my HD, most are archived on a USB drive.

That amazing prom and one of many A/R'S that crossed the disc.

2015 has been dominated by Ca-K for me. The B1200 module only arrived at the back end of July but still managed to get some good sessions in before the onset of the monsoon season.

So many images to choose from......

[aramitsharma]

All images taken using Lunt 35mm, closeups with DMK31AU03.AS and the full disk using canon 450d

I hardly dare add my images to the ones above!

This is a very difficult choice, as 2015 has been my best year in solar imaging to date, as exemplified by the comparison I made between the three H-alpha set-ups I have had:

Left to right: LS35THa, SM-II 60mm and APM 80mm F/6 plus Solar Spectrum filter.

Another obvious candidate must be the BIG animation I managed: 15 days of 30-odd pane mosaics

Note: This is scaled down to keep the page loading fast; the big one is here (warning: 135MB)

The million kilometre filament has to be in there:

2015 also so the addition of a Ca-K module to the kit. My best result is from December 28:

Finally, one favourite must be this surge I captured:

Great solar images. Thanks to all for posting.

[JB80]

Wow, it's been a grim year looking back but it's good to be posting some images again.

Not a great deal of output compared to previous years but still a tough choice.

All the Ha stuff taken with a PST stage 1 mod with either a ASI120mm or DMK41.

The white light taken with a skywatcher 150PL and ASI120mm.

I think I finally started to come to terms with mosaics, one of my better ones.

This one shows the evolution of a prom, from memory it was 45 minutes or so. It lifted off completely after I stopped imaging. lol

If I can find the data I may reprocess this one eventually.

My best pictures in 2015 were taken in White light. Some exemples:

 

Although some proms where really awe-inspiring...

A great thread started, thanks Martin.

A few of my better attempts.

 

Thanks everyone & all the best for the future.
