Sol 6 May 2021

[Hughsie]

I managed to capture three images of the Sun this evening in between rain, clouds and a wait for the Sun to clear the roof of my neighbours house. No sooner had I started to get the image orientation right when more clouds drifted across the Sun and I was left to capture a quick set of 1,000 frames between gaps in thick cloud then quickly pack up as further rain looked possible.

Here is the best of a bad bunch. The usual 25% of 1,000 frames stacked and butchered in PixInsight. No colour added as without flat frames it looked awful. Grey covers a multitude of sins. Captured with my Lunt 60mmTHa/B1200 blocking filter, ZWO ASI 174mm mounted on my EQ6R-Pro. Images acquired using SharpCap, 3.5ms exposure time with zero gain and probably packed away quicker than the exposure time  

Thanks for dropping by.
