Today, 15th Feb, for AR1048 the seeing was not as good compared to my recent image of AR1045 recorded on 13th Feb. However, it was still worth enduring the heat stress and discomfort of the fierce Brisbane sun as its intense heat attempted to drive me indoors – which it did successfully!

I drank 2 litres of chilled water during the set up, acquisition and tear down phases of today’s effort to avoid dehydration. Using a full aperture Baader Astro Solar Film Photographic Filter I was able to record at 30 frames per second, exposure of 1/2000 second with the Gain set at 320 on the DMK31 CCD camera.

Cheers
