Sun in Hydrogen Alpha / CaK
With Coronado 40 / Lunt 60mm CaK
Uploaded 9/11/11
| Saturday
the sun was alive with action, several small flares in the hydrogen
alpha wavelengths. Here are some full disk shots, and comparisons
in both wavelengths. AR1289 is very active, and flares nearly
every day creating aurora in the northern polar regions. It will
be exciting to watch the development of this region! |
