April 30th - H Alpha and White Light - A2536

[paulastro]

 Out early this morning as the bright start was not scheduled to last for long.  HA (all single frames) taken with Lunt 60mm DS and Olympus E-M5.  The first taken at 7.01 am through some cloud and the second at 8.13 am, both at 500 asa and on 1/15 and 1/30 respectively.

The WL taken with an Equinox 80, Lunt H Wedge and the Olympus.  The disk shot was on 1/1600 at 200 asa and the close up of AR2436 (using a x2 barlow) on 1/640 at 200 asa.

Very nice images Paul. Intermittent cloud here, but seeing was pretty good. Tried a quick and rough sketch of AR 2356 and glad to say it matches your close up quite well.

Thanks Dave.  I hope your late night/early morning was for good enjoyable reasons and you weren't poorly or anything

Thanks Charl, but at least you always make the best of any poor conditions - it shows you credit.

Thanks everyone.  No chance of observing today, but the weather looks more hopeful for the next few days.

Nice work, Paul.  Thanks for sharing.
