August 6th - H Alpha - Nice Filaprom

[paulastro]

Up early, had an HA session first from 6.28 am to 6.43am and the seeing was ok, alas by the time I went onto WL around 7.00 am it had already started  to deteriorate.  It was a little disappointing that the long arc of prominences on the SE limb seen yesterday hadn't developed better, but this could still happen as they rotate into view a bit more.  The filament running N to S has now reached  the W limb and has started to form a filaprom.

Single frames with Lunt 60 DS and Olympus E-M10 at 500 asa.  The first taken at 6.42 am on 1/100 sec, and the second/third taken at 6.37 am on 1/8 sec.

Great work. Well done!

I'm hoping that the blue skies today will materialise into clear skies for tonight! Fingers crossed!

Many thanks David.  It was like that here as well this morning.  In fact I was in shock to the degree I got up too early and had to wait for the sun to rise!

Thank you Dave.  Blimey, that is bad seeing.  Perhaps it wasn't so bad here this morning after all.

Sunny but away from my Solar imaging base camp for a week.

Really nice Paul. I get my h-alpha cues from you. I sometimes check this forum before an imaging session to see what you and a couple of other have picked up that same day!

Thanks Charles, that's really nice to know, thank you.  I promise to observe the sun and post up observations as often as I can!  (any old excuse )
