Proms are unusual in CaK....

Good catch.

Can you share some details of the date/ time and scope/filter/camera you used?

 

Of course, this shot was captured on the 18th August using my Skywatcher Evostar 120 (stopped down to 100mm), Lunt B1200 Ca-K wedge and QHY5-II mono camera. 1000 frames captured, just 55 stacked and then processed in ImPPG and GIMP.

Dave,

Thanks...

one more question....what exposure were you using?

I'd like to try for the proms next time out.

Hi Ken

I will need to check the log files on my laptop tonight and let you know. I'm quite surprised how often there are prominences on show in Ca-K.

David,

Thanks.

I was trying to compare to my FireCapture settings....

Shutter 35.71ms

Gain 357

Gama 39

 

I have to admit I find it quite difficult to translate exposure settings from SharpCap to FireCapture. they seem to operate Gain and Gamma quite differently.
