Post by Carbon60 »

A few images from this morning in Ha and CaK. The seeing conditions were not ideal for hi-res views.

CaK FDs in mono and colour. Some nice pores in the plage region/AR12814

Hi Stu,
That fine prom capture is excellent and equally the FD's and close-up, certainly show what our still fairly-quiet Sun is capabl;e of.

Thanks for sharing
Regards
Terry
