The Sun - 14th Jun 2020

[David Smith]

Clear sunny skies when I woke at 6 this morning, then I went back to sleep  but woke at 7 and skies were still clear. Out and imaging not long after and glad I did as clouds have fully taken over now and moved in not long after I got my white light FD. Lots to see and do today, the AR is close to the limb but still shows nicely and then there was a bunch of faint proms in Ca-k to try and grab.

Start off with the usual Ca-K 6 pane FD

Proms were tricky to capture today, even binning the ASI contrast was very, very low!

Then the AR, close up in Ca-K and WL

Some white light granulation because I like granulation shots  Best seen in full res / glory!

And finally the WL full disk, taken with the Bresser as I still cannot get and FD in WL from the Evostar (mosaics being the only way and are tricky with so little detail, at peak solar activity with a few spot groups to lock on to ICE might have a chance). Clouds were moving in by this time so this was a bit of a rush-job.

Very nice set David. Still cloudy here unfortunately.

Nice shots David.

It keeps brightening up here just to keep me interested.

And yes it conned me, set up not seen sun since and just been running round to pack up as the thunder started rumbling and spotting with big raindrops.

A fine set of images, love the Granulation captures!
