The Sun in Ca-K - 25th May 2020

[David Smith]

Beautiful clear skies early this morning. Seeing wasn't bad first thing but dropped off quickly after 8 am, seems I need to get my imaging done by 8 in order to get the best of it. Not sure why but my 6 pane full disk wouldn't stitch today, the last 2 panes were very soft looking at them. Never mind, I did manage to get some images of the big prom that's on show, so not a complete loss.

 

 

Also spent some time playing with Firecaptures RAM buffer options which are now working nicely, allowing me to capture in 16 bit if I so desire without the frame rate dropping intermittently to 1 (whilst the SSD played catch-up) as it did previously!

Has a nice ephemeral quality to it, and it looks like the prom is still attached in Ca-K.

Cool Ca-K David, spent most of the day messing around with the Lunt / SolarQuest combo fitted a replacement ADM saddle a while ago but only just gottten around to trying it and found it was way out of alignment with the solar tracking gizmo.
