My very first submission....Aug 22, 2021

Post by RKBerta »

After spending time browsing Solar Chat for a few years I decided to submit one of my photos. This was captured with my brand new camera....Player One Neptune Mono with Sony 178 chip. I used my 80mm Officina Stellare refractor along with a Day Star Quark Chromosphere Ha.
I have done lots of Ha viewing and imaging with a Coronado 60mm Ha setup single stacked but this is first with the new camera and Quark.

Quick question, where's a good place to see what a sunspot's name is?

Thank you for the image.

The Active Region numbering can be seen as soon as it is listed on:-
" spaceweatherlive.com " as " https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/solar-activity.html "

That website is not spaceweather.com...

Cheers

That's a fabulous first light with your new camera :bow :hamster: it is a very unusual shaped active region so makes a good target. I look forward to many more images :hamster:
