The Sun in Ca-K - 9th May 2020

[David Smith]

Thought I would get some imaging in before the weather breaks tomorrow. Although interesting to peruse the white light disk there was nothing to image. Ca-K on the other hand had a little more to offer, disk was fairly quiet but there was at least some proms to try and catch.

Full disk 6 pane mosaic @ native 1000mm focal length of the Evostar 120

A reasonably obvious plage area was all I had for close up opportunities. This one shot with the Revelation 2.5x barlow in place.

Proms were shot @1000mm again but the camera binned to help with the low contrast.

Nice Ca-K images David, I've spent far too much time looking at the Sun this week so got to get on and finish outside jobs today before the weather breaks.

Very nice.

I have cloud, here, if you'd like it early

Not seen much, if any rain! Cold front expected through us this PM but forecast remains cloudy afterwards.....

Thanks Dave. I've been the opposite, bus with jobs and work all week so trying to make the most of Sol today. Thought I'd put temptation in your path

Thanks Geoff. Due to cloud up here later this afternoon, hopefully get a BBQ in before it really turns though. Just thought I'd rub it in a bit
