Melbourne Sun on 270123 - spectroheliograph

Hi all

Just recently built myself a spectroheliograph as per Mr C. Buil's Solex recipe & here attached are a few initial attempts in Ha and Hb.

The imaging scope was a SvBony 70mm f/6 refractor

The best 11 Ha scans (rebuilt into a solar disc with the excellent INTI software) of 21 were aligned & stacked in Autotakkert 3! and then wavelet deconvolution sharpened with Astrosurface. Same process for the Hb data, but only 4 scans used here.

I've also attached a crop of a single scan (disc occulted in software) to show the prominence on the top RHS of the frame.

Very compressed versions attached here, slightly better on Flikr here:

Probably worth a zoom in to near full size..

cheers
Maurice

PS sorry - forgot that I had a Ca band image from the same session & now attached.
