Monday Sun Jan 25th 2021
I awoke to a scattering of snow this morning and the promise of sunshine from around 10:00am onwards, so I walked the dog, had breakfast and after a little wait to allow the Sun to clear my neighbour's rooftop, I got set up for a great morning session on the scopes.
FDs in all three lights and a few close views in Ha and Ca II K were all possible with almost cloud-free skies, which makes a really nice change as more often than not I'm chasing the cloud gaps.
Here's a SS Ha FD using my Lunt front etalon on a 72mm f6 fitted with a X2.5 PM/ Coronado BF15 and Basler acA1920-155um camera. Imaged as a 3 pane mosaic (could have been two, but I added a middle pane for good measure).

Switching over to the opposite side of the spectrum, now using a Tecnosky 125 mm f/7.8 with a modified Lunt B1800 Ca II K module and Basler 2440-75um, here's a full disk in ionised calcium. These are 4 pane mosaics.

Using the same scope and camera, I switched out the Lunt module for a Lacerta WL wedge fitted with a 540nm continuum filter and a couple of polarisers to knock down the image brightness. Again, imaged and processed as 4 pane mosaics. The sunspots look teeny weeny in these images. Just large pores, really.

The seeing conditions weren't too bad so I decided to try some higher magnification shots of the active regions in Ha and Ca K.
Here's the Ha version of AR2797 on my 150mm modified DS Lunt 35, imaged as a series of panes to capture the whole active region using a X2.5 PM and Basler acA1920-155um

This image includes the darkening effect observed closer to the limb.
In these images I've flattened out the gradient.

Hi Stuart,
That is an awesome harvest! Interesting to see the images produced by Basler acA2440-75um. Any insights on it for high-res imaging?

Re: Monday Sun Jan 25th 2021
Hi Alfred,
Many thanks for your comments.
Regarding the camera, the small pixel size (3.45um) will mean the images are over-sampled at high focal ratios (for high magnification views), but the main issue I've found with H-alpha is the generation of Newton's rings. Tilting helps, but it can still be a challenge.

Re: Monday Sun Jan 25th 2021
Stuart and all. Here's an interesting comparison between your CaK image and the SDO 1600 image. The detail they show is very close. The main difference is the color used in processing! The SDO image may be just a wee bit sharper but again little difference. Very well done Stu!!
Where exactly does the SDO image lie on the solar spectrum?

Re: Monday Sun Jan 25th 2021
yes, they're very similar. The SDO image you posted is 160 angstroms, CaK would be 3933angstroms - I think!DeepSolar64 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 26, 2021 4:21 pm Stuart and all.

Re: Monday Sun Jan 25th 2021
Ha...good one, Mark. On the whole I do think between all of us we do a pretty good job
James,
The SDO image is 1600 Angstroms, so well into the UV. I understand the image is from the transition region in the upper Chromosphere and the absorption line comes from carbon IV. There's quite a bit about this on the internet.
Cheers.
Stu.

How does nanometers compare with angstroms? Related? Same? Similar?

Re: Monday Sun Jan 25th 2021
That's a well-good sentiment Mark, so why not approach NASA and suggest that they could save so much dosh and get better images via SolarChat.
THEN ask NASA how much they would pay the SolarChat website and its' members for the privilege ???
AT least it would save zillions of dollars/pounds to NASA., albeit it could then make us amateurs then professionals and would likely then need us/SolarChat - declare the earnings to the relevant-governments for taxation purposes, so perhaps we should stay as amateurs... Simples...!!
