The Sun - 16th June 2020

[David Smith]

Cloudy early this morning but a quick look at Sat24 showed there was a big gap headed my way just after 8am. Consequently I was setup and ready for it when it arrived. The main body of AR12765 has moved over the horizon now but there is / was still some faculae showing this morning in white light and a small plage area in Ca-K. There is also some more faculae on the oncoming limb and a whole heap of proms on show in Ca-K again.

As a side note I usually shoot white lights with using the Lacerta wedge with my Continuum and UV/IR cut filters stacked on top of the built in ND3 filter (camera side of the wedge). Today I put my 2" UV/IR Cut filter at the front end of the wedge and just had the continuum mounted on the camera side. No idea if this has had any impact on my images, certainly no obvious detrimental affects that I can identify and the filter survived the test unscathed! I've orderer a seperate 35nm Ha filter with the Quark so the UV/IR can just stay attached to the Lacerta wedge.

Start off with the full disks, 6 pane Ca-K disk shot in the usual way and a white light FD shot with the Bresser

 

 

 

Close-up of the remains of AR12765 @2500mm FL in both white light and Ca-K

 

 

The white light faculae on the opposite side of the disk and some granulation

 

 

And lastly all the proms

Last few days at home before starting a new job on Monday so trying to make the most of it!

Good set of images.

Good luck with the new job.

Thanks for those David, had some clear blue here early on but looked at GONG and decided it wasn't worth setting up with cloud due to arrive.

Hope job goes well.
