Solar CaK 26 Dec 2020

[Merlin66]

First solar image for a while.....
Only got some CaK before things went wrong! USB3 cable failure.....
AR 2795 and AR 2794 prominent on the disk, AR2795 shows bridge(s), a nice "iris" effect of the magnetic streaming into the larger AR 2794 and plenty of Intranetwork (IN) bright spots in the surrounding faculae.


Roll on 2021 - must be better.
Enjoy!

Well they look super indeed Ken. Thanks for posting. Hope that's not a new cable failure? It's been nearly a month since I last set up and this week is not looking better.

At last some Sun! Great imaging and description Ken. Let's hope the clouds clear away for us all.

Thanks guys, appreciated.
Peter, The original USB3 extension cable which had given no problems for a year or so just failed.....hoping to get the replacement back in service soon.

Busy (!) working on a couple of spectroheliograph projects which have been hanging around for a while. Opens up a wealth of new wavelengths to the imaging capability.
