A few new spot groups this week, especially photogenic in Hydrogen Alpha. Calciums also recored good details, and the white lights compliment the set.
WHITE LIGHT August 12th:
Lets start with the full disk, I can get this with the SV80 which has a much larger field than the six inch. This is with the Baader Herschel wedge and Contiuum filters with IR/UV blockers.
Two close ups here, with the 5x Televue powermate. Nice granulation is shown and a remarkable set of small groups.
Second image with the 5x:
Now here is a full disk shot with the SV80 again, but with the Lunt Calcium K filter. Not as contrasty as when using a barlow but shows the major disk details in UV light at 395nm.
Some close ups with the Cak. I can only use the 3x barlow on calcium shots, since the seeing in near UV is always very bad!
Another interesting region on the limb.
A valiant attempt to get a prom with the Cak filter. They are very faint at this wavelength, but usually shaped very differently in UV than they are with the Halpha filters.
