20240731 H-alpha Sun

The Scottish summer is nearly non-existent this year.  We finally got some sunshine and I pulled out my gear to take a few shots.

1319 + 1320 mosaic of two frames to show the prominences, very active and lovely.


And then 1310 + 1313 mosaic of two frames to show the surface detail, sorry for the ulgy stitching:

And then close up with 2x barlows, first up is 1313 + 1314 mosaic of two frames:

And then another 2x single shot, 1316:


Enjoy a short session.

I used a tripod instead of the short pier I setup for deep sky inaging, far more comfort and still good enough for solar imaging.  I have some concept of the pole in my backyard.
