The Solar Chromosphere (Ca-K) - 06th August 2017

[David Smith]

Didn't think I was going to be able to do this, trying to shoot mosaics when there is cirrus cloud floating about is usually a recipe for nothing but frustration! A little patience paid off today though as a gap appeared and I was able to get 6x1000 frames for the FD before the cirrus came back. The close-up of the AR was shot through the murk so probably a bit soft.

Lovely capture, and apologies for the solar newbie and slihhtly off topic question, but where do you find the graphic you have between your two discs showing the correct orientation and rotation?

Hi Ade

Custom made by my own fair hand I'm afraid. There's a tutorial in this thread on how to make one that matches your image size.

Nice images.

Lovely detail in those shots, especially the fine prom detail.
