poor old sol from 14th November 2013

[h0ughy]

well i rushed home from work yesterday so i could try out my newly aquired coranado SM40, but i thought while the sun was high enough i would try for some solar imageing with the Lunt60 and the DMK41 with 2.4 vixen barlow. i have rocks in my head. It was like a ocean in a storm, I should really put up a video from the afternoon to show how rubbish it was.

Still i forged on thinking that Autostakkert can work wonders - no it cant... bad data is bad data.......

anyway as each grab was done to make the mosaic it got lower , and the brightness was changing, as you can see with the mosaic. i will post it anyway - will learn how to get rid of the join gradient lines?. there were some brilliant proms what have been covered better by others who have more skill and better technique:lol: but here mine are anyway:D

BTW the visual views through the SM40 were brilliant - wondered why i wasted my time trying to image the sun:P

thanks i have noticed that in the past few months the stability and seeing are getting worse in Newcastle. never really noticed it until i tried digging for data on Sol. LOL the rest of the time is carp too…isn't that right Michael?

:question:...yes.

You are way to hard on yourself Dave, this is another good result to me eye, sure it ain't peeeerfect but it is still a worthwhile view and worth the effort, well done :thumbsup:

Mike
Newcastle has crap skies...or have I already mentioned that :question:

Hi David, a little bit quilted on the FD but you got your fix :) I actually like the look of the last image.
