7th May FD CaK, HA and WL

Post by Stardust5858 »

Hi all, well it's taken me all evening to process these from today 7th May 2021. As headed up before there's a lovely new AR and spot region on the North Eastern limb. Still loads of data to go through these past several days but I think these will just be sent off to the British Astronomical Associations Solar Section. Take care everyone.

Thanks Terry, appreciate your comment. Yes, I noticed the activity rising in the new AR too. I hope we're not clouded out for days as it seems a nice active region.

Thanks James, much appreciated. I think I could have done a little better with the processing. Didn't go through all the data capture's so there could be better, certainly some worse, lol.

Wow!! that is one special collection of images, beautifully done :hamster: :bow I love your CaK proms, I tried again recently and I see absolutely nothing at all of any proms with my module, you are very lucky!

Thanks Alexandra, appreciate your comments. Don't know why my CaK module show's the proms but has done from the first time I used it. I was rather taken aback as I thought you couldn't see proms in CaK, at least it would be difficult, but seems not with my module. Someone said I'd got a near perfect wavelength module, who knows. I guess they are hit and miss like all commercial solar equipment. I guess you've tried upping the gamma, gain, I know I'm speaking to an expert with many years experience so apologise if you have.

You do have a remarkable unit, never sell it!

I have tried boosting absolutely everything until the black sky is white, nothing but a faint ghost if I am lucky :(

Oh dear, that's a pity. Yeah, I've been told never to sell it already by the person who said it's an almost perfect wavelength. So definitely not, lol.
