Jaffa / H-Alpha Sun 3rd June

[Macavity]

Fifth day of imaging in succession! (Wish I'd started earlier)

Hardly animation, but might try for a little slide show?
Trouble is, I tend to rotate the setup slightly day to day...

But set me on a random Google search, wherein I made a
few nerdy interesting discoveries about solar coordinates!

I might still be able to get a v.rough E-W direction from
the albeit small DRIFT to get rid of Newton's Rings????
(Or maybe simply guess from the images)

Nice one. You could make a short animation

[Davey-T]

Very nice result, congrat's on five in a row, haven't seen the Sun  for days here.

Think you've had my share of sun Chris, very nice FD.

[laudropb]

Very nice image.

[David Smith]

Nice consistent disks now Chris, excellent work.

You could make a short animation (MHFW)

Just a quick try - See if it looks vaguely possible... 
(I can reprocess the frames for better consistency?)

Hmmm... Looks like I will be joining the rest of you today.
Clouds are pretty much "Eight Okta" at the moment!

So, just playing about a bit! If I'm understanding things correctly,
the Solar equator is almost "Zero degrees" (face on) at the moment
and 15 degrees to the horizontal. The Stonyhurst Disk (qv!) is thus:

The general direction of surface DRIFT looks about right though?
(Quite happy to be proved wrong... Any Ideas Welcome)

I GUESS all you need for this is a week of wall-to-wall sunshine...
And preferably don't mess with the rotation of the scope/cam!

Sunny Skies etc.

Very nice first go at animation!

[Iainp]

I like it!!

Nicely done Chris, good to have such a good sequence of shots.

Looks very good to me.
