I think they have to be above 70 degrees or so, they seem to be literally at the poles. I think Feb/March good for the south pole and September the north pole.

Alexandra

WOW!!! what a glorious sight that was I bet

Absolutely amazing sketch

That's a great collection David :hamster: When you take your white light images can you focus on the poles? the BAA are asking all solar imagers to submit their images if they find polar faculae which should be quite prominent this year (solar minimum). Just a little challenge for you as you are suc...

Great luck!

Alexandra

Absolute beauty in all the shots Eric :bow I was wondering if you can spot polar faculae in your CaK images? The BAA at the moment is trying to get data this year on polar faculae (solar minimum) however not many of us take white light images. Do you think they would be able to use our CaK images in...

WOW!! I loved the animation, absolutely cracking!!! I love the stills too

Alexandra

That's a great prominence I bet that bug gave you a few bad words when you found that out well done, you are very very clever to design this software

Alexandra

No sign of the big prom today then

Fantastic image at full size though

Alexandra

Wow!! breathtaking shots I wish I could have seen it

Alexandra

The Sun should look like what your eyes see down the eyepiece remember the Sun is a big ball of flowing plasma, so no sharp edges.

These pics are great!


Alexandra

Wow! that gives great scale to the prom, superb shot

Alexandra

well done!!!

Alexandra

Just want to bump this NeatImage tutorial for Mark to move to software section.

Alexandra

Love the transit!!

The prom was so large you couldn't see it on GONG!

Alexandra

Very good!
I have a post saved which goes through NeatImage in a detailed manner, that post could be added?

I was wondering recently whether we could have a section for wildlife/nature (Sunlit Earth) section on the forum? or will it start getting too complicated.

Alexandra

That is a very crisp shot! nice one

Alexandra

Are you making me hungry Valery

That is a beauty I agree

That is a beauty I agree

Very nice collection Pedro, I am glad you caught 20 minutes

Alexandra

Wow! that is a Bunsen burner prominence nice selection of full discs Eric

Alexandra

That's a great full disc Mark, fantastic proms I remember at the start of solar cycle 24 you were one of the first people to catch a massive prom on the Sun, wasn't it used on Spaceweather or NASA or something?


Alexandra

I really enjoyed the faint prom in the east Brian, it is always exciting to find such a faint prom which can only be seen when cranking up the camera exposure. It is like a hidden secret
Alexandra

Super white light but the CaK doesn't look good. I know how good your CaK images usually are and this isn't up to your usual standard. That looks a bit like my CaK images through my TEC140, I have almost given up

Alexandra

What a delight to see How long does it take to create your sketch? I guess it is quicker in solar minimum.

Alexandra

Yes! superb proms Eric, they are always so bright and crisp
