March 14th - HAlpha and White Light

[paulastro]

Had a good session this morning from 11.28am to 12.20pm.  The seeing was on the poor side but better than it has been recently.  The two HA single frames were with the Lunt 60mm DS and Olympus E-M5, both taken at 11.29am.  Both using 400 asa, the first on 1/50 sec and the second (to show the position of the prominences) on 1/30 sec.

The whole disk white light pic was taken at 12.01pm, 1/1250  sec at 200 asa, Lunt H Wedge, Olympus E-M5 and Equinox 80mm ED.  The close up of AR2519 and AR2521 were taken with the same rig except I also used a x3 ED barlow, 12.20pm, 1/400 sec, 200 asa.

Many thanks for your comments.  I managed to set the Lunt up this morning at 7.20am, just framed the Sun and in came the cloud before I could take a shot. Ah well, that looks as if it's it for today.

Thanks Alexandra, I was wandering if anyone else had the same perverse imagination I have.  I'm just so sorry that I missed the dog that made them!
