Turbulent AR2703

Post by PDB »

Hi,

Clouds and sunshine alternating. Fair seeing, but chance to test the 120 f/8.3 refractor.
Turbulent AR2703, fairly big changes in 30 minutes. You could almost watch the changes in real-time.

Looks like a successful test, Paul. An interesting target too.

Nice images.

Maybe I should have written "poor" seeing. Lots of passing clouds as well.

Rgrds,

A very nice test and sequence, Paul. I was out too this morning and the seeing was not good.

Paul:
Looked at the active zone today, but it was not turbulent at the time I imaged it.
Have a nice and sunny Sunday.
Regards,
Eric.

Hi Eric,

that outburst did not seem to last long. A few hours later (and also now) looking at the GONG images it is completely calm.

Kind regards,

Paul

That's a really lucky sequence, these events are going to get very rare soon. Well done :bow :hamster:

Came out well. That's a nice scope to match with the Quark

Hi Mark,

that scope indeed seems to be ok for the Quark, but still a lot of work. Need to get the focuser replaced, and motorize that focuser. (You can't have it all for a €370.00 optical tube). Also need a bit better seeing.

Thks,

Paul
