AR10898 on the edge

[Starman]

Hi all,

Here's a shot of AR10898 rotating into view yesterday.

Hi Chaps,

Yes I am reviewing the camera for the magazine (although it's for the "First Light" section which is more of a preview really). However, the best way to get used to the equipment is to use it

The camera runs beautifully and to see the Sun in preview mode at 60fps is pretty awesome. Makes lining up the shot a dream. Image quality wise, it's currently matching the Atik 1HS II but with a much higher frame rate. Lots of other things to discover about it though so the next week or so should be interesting.

Look forward to reading the First Light Report and seeing more images done with the Camera Pete, 60fps :shock:

It will go higher than that too!

[russ]

The price on the Lumenera seems to be dropping a bit now too?

Blimey thats a great image Pete.

Love all the detail

Wish I hadn't posted my weedy image of the same sunspot now :oops:

Still, my gears cheaper than yours so there :)

[Starman]

Nothing weedy about your image Philip - you haven't seen my attempts at white light imaging

I like to see the white light images appear as it gives me something to compare against in terms of the complexity of the sunspot.

Thing that impressed me is the activity you caught around that

cluster of small spots nearer the sun's centre:

They looked very small through my scope and I nearly overlooked them.

Great stuff

I think both images are really great! This is what I love about different wavelengths-they show different details. Taken at close to the same time, a direct comparison can be made, just rotate the image and adjust the scale.

Not to plug anything, but my Powerpoint talk has a couple instances of observations in different wavelengths. One is an H-Alpha and Calcium K pairing, the other is a crude "movie" I made in H-alpha the other in Ultraviolet of an eruptive prominence. Another one is early on, comparing a magnetic image with an illustration of the filed lines. Great stuff, guys!

Marvelous image that Starman! Is that with a "plain old" PST or the double stacked jobbie? I'm considering swapping my OMC140 for a PST at some time in the future and it compares favourably in price (new versus new) for the trade. If the double stack bit is needed then I'll need to add in some of those penny things and that currently won't be good.

'Tis a plain old standard non-double-stacked out-of-the-box PST Captain.

Wow! Wanna swap?
