It's so refreshing to be able to see a sunspot and the related activity around it. Took this one today at 15:27 UT with my Coronado SM90 DS & BF30 with the SBIG ST2000XM. Exposure is .010 second. The proms were captured at .030 second. 3 prominence shots were aligned and combined, autodark applied. The chromosphere was captured at .010 second. The sharpest 2 were aligned and combined. All in CCDSoft. Processing, layering and color done with Adobe Photoshop CS2. -------------------- Len Meade 178 ED APO 127mm Astro_Tech ED APO 4" f/15 Model 166 Unitron with UNIWITT Pier Televue Genesis SDF 101mm f/5.4 2.4" f/15 Model 128C Unitron Coronado Solarmax 90 DS Telescope Losmandy Titan; G-11; all w/Gemini All in a "Backyard Observatory" Spilhaus Space Clock "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands."

I only had a few brief windows to image today because of the weather and so concentrated my energies on the AR. Tomorrows weather for me is supposed to be quite decent, so if that's the case I hope to get a few proms in the mix aswell. Keep these images coming, they're really nice Post Extras:       mbucky professor emeritus Reged: 10/21/07 Posts: 602 Loc: San Diego Re: Active Sun and AR1024 today [Re: marktownley]       #3199674 - 07/05/09 01:03 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   very impressive image. it was a great day to view the sun! -------------------- Michael Buxton Lunt 75F BF1200 Takahashi TSA 102 DMK 21AU04 CCD Orion Atlas EQ Post Extras:       darkstar528 Postmaster Reged: 03/06/07 Posts: 6692 Loc: Hodgenville, Kentucky, USA Re: Active Sun and AR1024 today [Re: mbucky]       #3199941 - 07/05/09 08:52 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Beautiful full disk!!!!! -------------------- Blue skies, Stephen "Darkstar" Ames PST(#96038), VIXEN 8-24mm,CEMAX 2x Barlow, Thousand Oaks White Light Filter and a Meade Elec EP CFI, CFII, MEI, working on EIEIO!
