ok... let's cut the bull now. You've got a live feed from SOHO right? :P :poke:

[Peter Ward]

I do! I use my Small Office/ Home Office computer for most of the processing :D



Pleasing to the eye or ugly ? .. one and the same really, the differennce is simply a few beers :)

Nice work Peter once again. Fantastic prominence action. Perhaps I need to take off my front etalon to image the prominences. Just one request. Can you change the colour of the solar surface? I am pretty sure that our sun is not brown. :)

I never get tired of looking at your work Peter.

:thumbsup:

I see you use the AP155 which in itself is a dream scope. Does your rig get hot? How's the residual heat dissipated. Most of the light would have to be reflected out correct?

[Peter Ward]

Indeed. H-alpha is deep red and beyond the Gamut of all LCD displays.
I thought I gave it a "golden" rather than "brown" look....that said, it's now brighter and more yellowish :) (you may need to refresh your browser)



Thanks Al.... Ok I'll keep posting some solar stuff.




Instrument heat has not been a problem. The Etalons keep the heat out. That said, I do all my solar runs in the morning to keep both local and day seeing at bay.
