Warren,
You captured it much better than I could see it visually today.

Nice job!

Rich, I am totally impressed by your K-Line image. Very nice!! James Thanks James. The closure to f/15 I get the better the image is. Rich Rich, I have been using that wedge-filter combo at F6 with a 72mm refractor. I really need to make a 40mm mask for it. It does ok but not as well as your does. ...

Today was a troublesome day to observe. The sky was a milky white with high clouds giving a diffused and dimmed solar disc. I had to keep the power low using mostly 25x and only once going briefly to 31x. The session was from 15:20 until 15:42 UTC. The seeing looked to be about average. The temperat...

Stu,
Very nice work. Your CaK and Ha full disc images are great and I think you caught a flare on those two close ups. The colorized close up is splendid. It just looks HOT!!

James

The big filament is gone!

Nice work Paul. Looks great.

Me too!! Both of them look awesome.

Nice work Brian!

I can still see through your image what spots are there. Thanks Robert. And I would love to visit the Kennedy Space Center at a time a launch is taking place. Awesome pics!!

Thanks

You captured the magenta-pink natural prominence color spot on! Something I tried to reproduce on my images that day. I actually got close! Very beautiful!! :hamster: :bow PromsColor_PrettyDamnClose!.JPG Thanks. I used the colors as they came out of the camera, no custom white balance. It looks lik...

It was! Thanks Arne.

Welcome Pedro.

DeepSolar64

It is a wonderful way to spend time in solitude. I clipped my keys to my belt loop yesterday.

DeepSolar64

Thanks Alexandra, comparing the sun to a teenager is a good one. Are the flares his/her tantrums!!?

Thanks Stu.

DeepSolar64

Beautiful and relaxing the lake is. Hey, Warren did you save the filament liftoff as a file?

James

DeepSolar64

Alexandra,
I would put a houseboat or canal boat on here in a heartbeat if I had one. But I live within 5 minutes of it. Very close!

James.

DeepSolar64

Nice work Brian. I am glad you got to view the sun visually as well. I really like the last prominence image.

Today was mostly cloudy until about the last 2 hours before sunset when the skies cleared to wispy cirrus type clouds so I accessed the Slooh Lunt60 Ha live feed and captured three images from it this morning. The time is in the image name. Later in the day I snapped a picture of the clearing sky fr...

Petrus!
You caught some flaring! Nice!!

James

DeepSolar64

Very nice work Marty. I especially like the colorized Ha ones of AR13643/AR13638 and the one of the big filament in the NW quadrant.

James

DeepSolar64

You did very well, Mr. Green. Nice detail!

DeepSolar64

Like Warren I really notice the filament.

DeepSolar64

Warren,
It was serene. I was almost entirely alone on the lake with only the sounds of the birds, the water and the occasional fish breaking the surface. Kayaking is a wonderful way to spend the day!

James

DeepSolar64

You are welcome Eric. It was mostly cloudy today as well but did clear a bit before sunset leaving wispy cirrus clouds.

My boat is speeding up, they sent photos today and it looks like they have finally started to paint the outside progress!!

Great!! Good luck. Fun is coming!

WoW, what a SPOD!! Congratulations. You nailed the eclipse. Absolutely beautiful!!

Totally incredible! And you have detail on the moon itself!

Two thumbs up!!

It was a wonderful day Mark. If today allows I may get back on the lake later this evening. That is not a bad idea for the keys. Or I could clip them to my belt loop or life jacket which I wear. I don’t plan to capsize but just like a car accident it can happen.

Welcome. Your CaH images rule!!

Alexandra,
Lol. I thought about that but somehow the “ Grey Minnow “ rings true to me. The kayak is a small boat and it is greyish in color. I may get a larger pontoon boat. It would almost no doubt be called the “ Carpe Diem!! “.

James.

DeepSolar64

A truly beautiful site it truly is, Stephane!

DeepSolar64

Today while fishing from my kayak I caught the Sun using my little Lunt 8x32 Lunt SUNoculars. I had to catch a calm cove to do this so the boat would stay still enough for a good view. I had tried previously but the boat rocked too much. A friend of mine told me that he had not been quite dedicated ...

Always exemplary. Always stunning! Thanks Pedro.

Very nice work Dennis. I love the softer processing on the first image!

James

Very nice work, Rich. Your K-Line image has better contrast than any I have ever done with the same filter. It shows contrast approaching more narrowband CaK images!

Two thumbs up!!

James

DeepSolar64

Paul,
I think these look really nice.

James

DeepSolar64

Thanks everyone and I did have a great time. And those cacti are fairly common here.

Franco, You are welcome concerning the color addition.

Today I observed the sun visually and also took a couple of iPhone WL images of the disc through the Orion70 at 36x. The seeing was actually a bit above average. The skies were mostly clear and the session lasted from 20:44 until 21:08 UTC. The temperature was a very summer-like 82F ( 27.7C )! I cou...
