The Sun 24th Apr 2016 Ca-K

[David Smith]

Forecast for today was overcast all day so I moved my alarm to a more "weekend-ish" time only to wake up around 7 anyway! Lucky I did as the forecast was wrong and the Sun was shining. Managed to get the 6 panes for the full disk Ca-K before some clouds started to interfere but the close-up mosaic was affected some by clouds. I also took some white light data which I will stack later on the desktop pc as my laptop struggles with the larger frame area.

6 Pane FD @1000mm FL

6 Pane mosaic of the active regions @ 2500mm FL

Very nice indeed. There is clearly a plage area rotating towards us in the northeast.
