13th June (very) Quick HA

[Macavity]

No real gaps in the "White cloud" again. But chopped out
the worst, for a stack of about 50 events! For FUN found I
could do both a *positive* disk and the proms in one go! 
Used "Sawtooth" Tone Curve! (The wonders of ImPPG...) 

Shame really - A fair bit of interest in the early afternoon? 

Hoping for better things tomorrow! (Eh, Readers)

That'll do Chris, very nice indeed considering the difficult conditions.

Caught all there was to see, nicely done.

Some days you just have to take what you can get, well done.

A very nice looking  prom group.

I recently discovered curves and my proms come alive! Good pic! Unreal some of the pics I get through clouds. Makes for dimmer image but usually seems more steady.

Great, Tony! I keep on discovering all kinds of things. 
Bit too much "Cirrus" even for my "Cloud Penetrating"
H-A "radar". But it seems to be improving slowly now...

I usually take a second (much increased) exposure for prominences. But I
am slightly revising my thinking now. Particularly now I use AS!2 & ImPPG. 

For FULL disks anyway, I sometimes have problems getting AS!2 to "lock"
onto all the (peripheral) proms when I add automatic alignment points...
Since there seems to be sufficient Dynamic Range on the Camera to get a
reasonable showing of prominences from "Disk" exposures (via ImPPG!)
maybe I'll use a more "compromise" exposure with some remaining disk
features to help AS!2 "lock on" to the entire SUN?

It still seems quite reasonable to adjust the exposure on Barlowed Proms
though? Maybe even try combining / masking multiple exposures to avoid
burn-out -- like folks use re. exposures of the Great Orion Nebula.

So many possibilities... Only ONE lifetime!

Nice one. Might try the saw-tooth myself one of these days (usually go for the "part inverted" look)
