Not a lot of time to spin words today as I am about to head off to work...but I had a bit of time this morning to capture the Sun not only in Hydrogen Alpha, but also in white light. I am pretty happy with the images and am feeling like I make a little bit of progress each time I use the camera. First off, some of the HA images...this first one I shot to try and show off the "filaprom" at the top...it had a 3D look visually.
This next image may be my best effort yet...processing skills limited me far more than the data. Incidentally, the active region near the center of the Sun has been spitting X class flares, including one around 9 PM last night.
For white light, I captured the image through my Stellarvue 90mm triplet apo and a Lunt Herschel Prism, using a polarizing filter. This is my first successful white light image:
Having fun now!
