July 8, AIA data

[Drop Of Sun]

Hi Folks,

Not my captures, AIA level 1 data from SDO that I have processed. It's been a while since I processed any solar images. Nice to see the sun has been picking up!

Good stuff Luke, thought you'd retired from solar imaging 

I've finally got a working Quark after it's too and froing to Daystar for the last 6 months, not had much chance to try it yet but it doesn't seem as good as my original.

Nice to see you back Luke! Great images

Here's a second shot at processing AIA171, I was going around in circles with the first effort! I think I am happier with this one for my taste.

EDIT: Another stab at the big AR in AIA171 - I think it has more depth to it than #1:

Thanks Dave and Stu, it's good to be back!

I fancied a break from the solar, I felt like I wanted to get the frustration over a certain brand of solar filter out of my system! And I really likes me other hobby too, boardgames. No stoopid weather issues!

We've had a year off more or less from the night time astro as well, which wasn't really planned! Really looking forward to hopefully doing a proper season this year.

I sorta miss the solar capture a little bit, that buzz when you get some captures in the bag! I think I might have a ponder when we're getting closer to the next solar maximum if funds allow.

Dave, hope your Quark is similar to the one you sent back. That's sorta my concern with those amazing devices. Fingers crossed for you.

I'm looking forward to catching up with the amazing images. I don't recall Charl was doing h-alpha last time I was here. They look sweet!

Charl has managed to get hold of a really nice Quark, pity Daystar can't be consistent.

Daz, Ewan and a couple of others seem to have outstanding ones, mine was good on days of good seeing, need a nice clear day to test it properly.

Nice set of images

Some nice images there Luke. Always a good source when the clouds are playing stubborn (weather is miserable here at the moment). Good to see you back on the Solar Imaging forum!
