[Rob63]

I haven't posted anything here in a while as I mainly hang out on Solarchat these days but I need to get back into the habit 😀

Friday the 10th was a fantastic morning here in Scotland, I now have 464Gb data (Ha, Ca-K, WL) to process !
Here are a few first looks at what I have manage to get.

Capture details:

H-alpha, 120mm scope with Daystar Quark & ASI174MM.
Ca-K, 120mm scope stopped down to f15, Lunt B1200 Ca-K module, ASI290MM with 1.5x Barlow on nosepiece
G-Band , 120mm scope stopped down 86mm (seeing was deteriorating) , Baader herschel wedge, ASI290MM, 2x Barlow, ND0.9, Altair G-Band filter.

As a bonus from AR3664 , we got a spectacular auroral display last night - right above the house for a full 360°, incredible!

Wow! What a stunning collection! Congrats!

Oh, you're hanging out with the posh folk at solar chat? Please drop in from time to time for tea here. I think they probably take biscotti rather than jaffa cakes.

Just amazing images, and a wonderful Aurora image to round them off.👍
