H-alpha sun 6.4.18

[Rusted]

We had an almost cloudless day here in CET land when it eventually reached a sub-tropical 12C, 53F.

So I set up the 6" f/8 [5" f/10 equiv.] on the big mounting up on the platform.

Several prominences and one dark, reverse 'Z' for Zorro slashed on the surface.

Still adjusting the D-ERF for optimum clarity and freedom from 'scarlet fever' on the background.

By far the best seeing to date, until later, when it became rather milky and much more indistinct.

The largest prom was absolutely razor sharp at first at 100x [nominal] Cemax 12mm.

Though I tried every eyepiece I own throughout the day and even struggled with the binoviewer.

Modesty prevents me from sharing any of my handheld 'snaps' or stills from the Neximage5. 

The prom slowly developed from a rough coated, tabby cat.

With its nose on the ground, joined to two pairs of trousers, hanging from its 'washing line' tail.

I pray I have used the correct nomenclature for you experienced solar perfectionists.

Perfectionist I’m not (nor experienced enough). But so glad you used all the proper technical descriptions. ??
