September 13, 2016: 59-pane H-alpha mosaic (7th in 7 days)

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Seeing was quite a bit better in H-alpha than in Ca-K, so the mosaic came out well. I was worried that the low amount of activity would cause trouble when stitching, but AutoStitch worked perfectly. The temperatures were really high today. I tend to do white light and Ca-K first, after which I do the H-alpha. While I was doing the first two wavelengths, I put the Solar Spectrum H-alpha filter in direct sunlight, and when I attached it to the scope and the power supply, the temperature control unit immediately indicated 40 Celsius. The ambient temperature in the shade was 30.5 Celsius. Really odd for September.

I must say I have rarely seen such a quiet disk in H-alpha.
