AR2755 in High Res | Jan 6th 2020

[MalVeauX]

Heya,

AR2755 persists today. I managed to image for a few minutes (20 minutes?!) while working on my observatory (replacing walls, roof, etc, with new exterior ply). Lovely to image with automation and just work on something and let lucky imaging do its thing. Seeing was ok today, not great, but not as bad as the other day. My seeing dipped down around 1.1 arc-seconds today and that is when I grabbed the best lucky image frames apparently, thanks to the Airy Labs SSM and FireCapture's automation software (super thanks to the authors of that software!). AR2755 will probably decay rapidly from this point on, and I have to work, so I won't see it likely on its way out.

Seeing conditions (circle highlighted when I imaged around 1.1 arc-seconds for this data; only imaged for around 20 minutes and only 6 minutes with the SSM, which was apparently enough time):

Equipment:

C8 Edge + Aries D-ERF + Baader Red CCD-IR Block Filter (ERF #2)
PST Etalon + BF10mm + ASI290MM

Very best,

[Pete Presland]

Beautifully detailed images
