The Sun in Ha 21 Apr 2018
Absolutely crap seeing conditions... even the "blue" parts of the sky between the cloud gaps had a high haze.
Nice new active region (AR2706) with spots and a nice prominence showing a large detached section
Lunt LS60THa, ASI 1600MM camera and Sharpcap capture software

Full Disk

 

AR2706

 

Prominences and nice large detached section

(haven't seen one that well detached before)

Dave,

Very nice.

We've been hampered by mist and smoke haze for the past few days.....

Have you considered using Corono to give a better display of the proms?

The best that I have ever seen with my gear so far

Nice captures, Dave.  That plasma lift-off is stunning.

Thanks for the shares.

Clear Skies

A fine set of images, despite the conditions. The detached prom is excellent.

Nicely captured what with the haze hampering your efforts. The prom is impressive!

Thanks Pete and John

 

We have had arsonist bush fires, council hazard reduction bush fires , both causing so much haziness

and then just a bit of natural high cloud haze ..... all of which has been making solar or nite time astronomy difficult to impossible
