Hi all,

 

I finally had my first imaging session with the Lunt CaK module.

Focusing was okay and the image already seemed decent on screen in real time.

I needed very low gain and exposure to get good brightness.

There were many sunspots all around and I could see the prominences as well when I increased the gain.

 

I would be happy to hear what do you think about the processing.

I am not sure if I overcooked it or not...

 

TS102 f/11, Antlia dualband 2" ERF, B1200s CaK module, ASI678MM.

1ms exposures, 0 gain, 50 frames stacked.

 

Thanks for looking. Click for full resolution.

Excellent results Yossi :cool:   Capturing a prominence in your first attempt is quite a feat :waytogo:

Those look awesome Yossi!  Great job with the prominences too!  I'd say your processing is dead on.
