Solar Sunspot Group 15th Nov, 18th Nov 2017

[Aussie Dave]

I've had some breaks in the clouds and smoke for some nice solar imaging, conditions still not great but I was happy to get these. In a 3 minute video on the laptop screen some good detail comes through a couple of times a minute briefly for a few seconds. The second image is around 2 minutes as cloud covered the sun at the start of the last minute of the video so I had to stop the recording.

Captured in SharpCap with the ZWO ASI 224MC and Celestron UV/IR cut off filter in the Celestron Nexstar 8i SCT with focal extension tubes. Aligned and stacked in AutoStakkert, wavelets in RegiStax, edited in PaintDot Net.

great shots Dave, lovely detail mate. where battling cloud here in the UK, there seams to be no end in sight. hope you have clear in OZ. charl.

[Aussie Dave]

Yes Michael, it was disappointing to see it 3 days later from when I first noticed it on the 15th.

 

[Aussie Dave]

Nope we've had shocking skies and seeing here Charl, was lucky to get what I did dodging those clouds. Perhaps early December we may have some luck.

Nicely done Dave, we in the UK assume it's always sunny in OZ, the Sun is usually shining in those Aussie soaps

Thanks Dave. Unfortunately it's not all sun, surf and bikini's here. I wish it was
