Big Ha Sun

[Peter Ward]

Today's installment here (http://www.atscope.com.au/BRO/gallery556.html)

This will likely be the last one for a bit....the forecast is rain for the next week
and high cloud is now rolling in as I write.

Seeing was not too shabby this morning, and supported a larger image scale while
retaining fine solar details (I rather like the tiny vertical flare on the limb at 9 o'clock)

I've uploaded a nice big image to surf around.

Hope you enjoy the view.

[Peter Ward]

I guess it's a keeper :)

too kind :thanx:

As a post script, for those who have not tried it, h-alpha observations of the Sun
are remarkably dynamic. While an image of M42 might show a proper motion of a star after a decade,
features on the Sun change in minutes....definitely the yin of deep sky yang.

A very nice image with plenty of details Peter . Great stuff.:thumbsup:

Yowsers!! That is one stunning image.

And to think that most of those little spots and ripples are larger than our entire planet... Puts a bit of perspective on things, I think.

Cheers,
