Layers of the Solar atmosphere

[Peter Ward]

Had a bit of fun today by actually having enough time to image the upper (H-Alpha) and lower ( CaK) layers of the solar chromosphere .

A rollover image of these layers can be seen here (http://www.atscope.com.au/BRO/gallery85.html)

Well done. The sun spot in CaK looks like a hole. Great detail.
My young son just asked if the image was taken at night:lol:

Beautiful, Pete!

Nice Peter what set up do you use for the CaK images?

[Peter Ward]

Thanks Guys. I use a Lunt Solar B1200 CaK module, with my AP130 stopped down to 100mm.

Excellent work Peter, certainly provides a very different and most interesting perspective.

Very well done.

Hi Peter - great images - enjoy your work immensely!

Wow... this is hot and super cool at the same time. As good as it gets. :thumbsup:

Nice going Peter. The seeing not as good as last week? That scale was impressive. The detail is nice today for sure but not as lovely last week.

[Peter Ward]

Thanks. Seeing was OK, but I used a shorter FL to cut down on the amount of stitching required (the Cak image still has a bit of glitch).

As an aside, Cak is underwhelming visually...very deep violet and very hard to see any detail at all. ....but comes up a treat with a CCD :)
