Sun in Hydrogen Alpha
With Coronado 40 
Uploaded 10/3/11


 

 This
            is my first try at a total hydrogen alpha disk composite with
            the entire disk shown. This composite consists of 18 sub frames,
            each 1024 x 768 in size with our Image Source DMK camera. Details
            include the huge sunspot group AR1302 to the right of center
            which flared repeatedly in late September and produced many Auroras
            in the north. It is still flaring mildly in this image.
