A wonderfully detailed image of AR 1476 (Brisbane 10th May 2012)

I was delighted to obtain a wonderfully detailed image of AR 1476 from our back garden in Brisbane, recorded on 10th May 2012 at 10:56am AEST (GMT+10). I used a Takahashi Mewlon 180 F12 ‘scope with a Tak x1.6 Extender and the camera used was an Imaging Source DMK31AF04.AS industrial webcam.

To obtain this breathtaking detail, I recorded an AVI of 2500 frames and then let AVIStack select the best 154 frames whilst I had a cup of tea.

The skies were sparkling and although I was just inside the edge of a turbulent jet stream pattern, there were sufficient moments of excellent seeing for the details to pop through.

Cheers

Dennis
