Nice images Ken. Thanks for sharing - I am a keen follower of your image posts.
I managed a white light visual observation yesterday between the clouds following your earlier heads up. It is indeed a complex spot with plenty to observe. The two trailing black specks were clearly visible. I had reasonable seeing and could observe plenty of fine detail through my 140mm refractor.
Steve,
Glad you managed to observe the AR 2776!
Yes, this is the time to dust off the solar filters and get some practice ahead of Cycle 25
These Ha images are certainly not the highest quality - I'm trying all different settings/ configurations to suppress the Newton Rings - not always successful!
The first two images are single stack and the last three are double stack for comparison.
Lovely sets of images Ken, especially like the 5th image in the Ha set, seems to have a 3D effect of the limb receding in the distance, away from the active area.
Thanks guys, appreciated.
I'd reiterate - now is a good time to try out and use those White Light filters.
I'm sure members with better seeing than I have, could get some very good images of AR2776.
