September 15th - H Alpha Disk

[paulastro]

Rather a hazy sun here this morning.  I had a session from about 10.30 to 10.45 but only took a few frames as the conditions were rather poor.  A very quiet disk today again, though there is a small active area just inside the E limb which seems to correspond with charl's new pores which he posted earlier.  Four reasonable prominences fairly close together in the W and a couple on the NE limb.  Single frame with Lunt 60 DS and Olympus E-M10 taken at 10.34 am, 500 asa and 1/60 sec.

Nice image Paul. Don't bother with gong anymore just look at your daily images to see if it's worth getting scope out.

That made me chuckle Daz, many thanks for the compliment.

Many thanks for your kind words everyone.  I'll be absent from the scene for much of the time from now until the end of October.  This is due to minding my friends camera shop while he's on holiday, then going  to Kelling from Sept 29th to October 3rd (where I won't have internet access, but will have my Lunt 60 DS , plot T138 if you want to pop along and say hello) and then photographing the wild deer rut in various locations until the end of October.  I'll look forward to looking at all your images during this period whenever I have a chance or in the periods when I may be at home.

V Good for a single frame Paul, well done. I find a turning into more of a prom chaser myself now :-)

[paulastro]

Many thanks Ewan.  Being a 'prom chaser' sounds good to me!

Good catch Paul considering the conditions and the lack of activity

Exceptional detail for a quiet sun Paul.
