Amazing details Christian. Very impressive!

Really nice John. Great assortment of proms. With the disk being quiet, the proms provide all the drama.

Lovely scenes Derek. That snake image is amazing! Was that in the wild, and if so, how close did you get?

Here is a very brief prom animation taken Tuesday in fairly poor seeing. I always hesitate to present sub-par work here. But since I will be on hiatus likely till late March, this might be my last opportunity! Please click for sharper view.

Wow. That bird shot at lower left is amazing!!!

Absolutely superb. Lovely details and textures.

Really high quality images Stu, with a subtle touch as I mentioned before!

Very nice Brian! The proms are particularly interesting. The full disks are very finely textured.

Great prom shot! I like the irregular, branching nature of its structure.

Lou, exceptional details. Really like your processing.

This is lovely Franco. The texture is interesting, but it is the filaproms which really enhance the scene.

Thanks everyone. Much appreciated. Derek, you are a lucky man. I much prefer warm weather to cold.

I thought my season was over, but predictions of its termination were premature. Well, the temperature was around 0 to 2º Celsius. My hands got numb over the course of the session (I should get some hand warmers). Since there were no major sunspots to speak of, I concentrated on proms. The sun was s...

Really nice collection Derek.

Excellent images Matt. The details in the first are superb!

Very lovely Derek. You capture the subtle hues really well.

A lovely full disk despite the quietude!

Exceptional details Lou. I can always expect high quality work from you!

Stunning images Derek. Very ethereal looking.

Really nice Robert. I love the comparisons of different wavelengths. The Ha in particular is grand!

Ouch David! The image came out great though.

Fantastic details Mark! Very inspiring for me to try a full disk.

As my season draws to a close it is time to go down memory lane. Given the inclement weather, I have had time to sort and organize my images over the past few months. Here are 19 images of ARs organized in the same format (900x900 squares) taken from August 9th till October 11th. They are derived fr...

Exceptional as always Eric. The details are striking!

Spectacular images Lou!

Stunning vistas Frederic!!

Thanks everyone. Actually, it was just a frustrating session. My mouse stopped working, clouds rolled in for about 30 minutes, and the poor seeing messed up my focusing attempts. I am happy to get some results, however.

What a bad seeing day it was today (Oct 14th). Out of 65 frames, 3 survived my initial screening, 2 of which made it into the mosaic below. The general seeing was 1-2/5. These two latter frames were about 2.5-3/5. Actually, the seeing improved mildly 15 minutes before the sun went behind a tree, so ...

Lovely results Steve! I am so impressed with your FDs.

Exceptional details and sharpness Eric. I think I mentioned that if I ever image full disks I hope their quality approaches yours!

-Charles

just incredible!!!!

Love the comparisons at different wavelengths Brian. The close-up versions are brimming with detail!

-Charles

The level of detailing is superb Lou! I just love the texture of the sun in h-alpha.

-Charles

Thanks everyone! The very good seeing certainly played a major role.

These images were taken on the 11th of October of ARs 2599 & 2600. Although the seeing for the first part of the session (when I did the animations) was very variable, it improved considerably when I did imaging for mosaics (4-4.5/5). Here are the results. The first mosaic is likely the best one...

These animations of AR2599 were taken yesterday morning. The seeing was variable (2-4/5), so the sharpness and brightness was not as consistent as I would have liked across frames. There was some interesting flare activity though. The animations span 35 minutes in real time. These animations may tak...

Lovely details David. The color palette is quite dramatic.

These FDs are great Steve!

Stu, these are lovely images. You really have a subtle touch. Your images are never overdone.

-Charles

cshahar

These are lovely images Derek! They give a wider perspective for those focusing only on capturing small areas of the sun. This planet is indeed beautiful!

-Charles

Lovely images despite the seeing Alexandra. There are still enough subtle details, which are a testament to your post-processing techniques..
