The Solar Chromosphere - 4th March 2017

[David Smith]

Exactly a month since my last solar session. That's not to say we haven't seen the Sun for a month just that all the sunny bits have coincided with work  Forecast for this weekend was for more permacloud with a significant amount of rain just for good measure (actually I can handle cloud when it's doing something just hate cloud for clouds sake ). Reality was that although it was a little windy there was some good clear gaps. Not much going on it white light (if there were any spots / pores I couldn't see them) so decided to process the Ca-K and H Alpha first.

Not much activity at all really, not even any significant proms to show off!

The only decent AR @2.5x

H Alpha @400mm. Two layers (Surface / Proms) combined in GIMP. Hopefully someone else will do this properly later 

Will process and post the white light data a little bit later.

Super job. That close up in Ca-k is wonderful. Can we have more like that please?! (I mean generally, not necessarily today! )
