Weekend Sun (Sat 25 and Sun 26)

Here's a couple of full disc shots of the sun from yesterday and today. There's more proms and high res detail to follow as I process them.

Really nice work Al, look forward to some hi-res of these proms.

Nice Al always look foward to your Disc shots

Hi Al,

Wow – what a superb couple of images. When I first opened them, I thought that I had accidentally clicked on a NASA website. You’re producing some wonderful results with this gear.

If only I could have had these as a background for the recent ISS transit!

Cheers

Thanks very much for the kind words, guys.

Actually, Dennis, after seeing your ISS transit yesterday, I've made myself a Baader solar film filter for the ED80 so I'm ready next time I get a transit. Hopefully I should be able to over lay the white light images of the ISS over the Ha background of the sun... fingers crossed.;)

Here's a some more detailed shots. The seeing wasn't real good so I've had a few challenges when processing them to get reasonable images.

...and a few more.

Hi Al

That is a great series of images! Your disc stuff is really good, I do enjoy seeing them - good luck with the next ISS transit!

[sheeny]

Thanks Matt. The discs are no where near the image scale that Peter Ward gets, but I bet they're nowhere near as much work to process either.

The little SM40 filter doesn't do a bad job at that resolution at all, but I think I'd like a bigger aperture for the more high res stuff.

Great images, especially full disc.
Love your processing, very well done Al.

Thanks Arek.
