Spots and Flare in CaK with a T300

Post by allhoest »

Hi,

Still in St Veran.
I'm switching now to a CaK setup, with the non coated T300.
While imaging 2 small spots, then came a flare.
I needed to set down the shutter settings capture after capture.
The flare itself developed up and down during ~2 minutes.

OH MY Goodness!!! a CaK flare in animation too!! these are so good :bow :bow :bow

I always imagined these events happened on the surface but when you watch this closely in a large version view, it looks like this is above the two spots and connecting like lightning in the surrounding space above. I have never seen this at such high resolution before and is highly intriguing.

Possibly the best capture of the event of the connection between two spots and what so often happens in that configuration Alex.

Absolutely brilliant and so interesting too. Well done.
