Close up Ha images 19 October 2022

[Averton (P and C)]

Here are a few closer images in Ha from yesterday (Wednesday 19 October). While still relatively quiet, there are some interesting regions to view and some impressive proms.

Taken with 72ED, Solar Scout Quark and ASI178MM.

hi guys, a nice collection and you have some excellent detail in the last two images in the proms.
Also wondering how does your 72ed ss quark setup work exactly?

cheers

Thanks Russ.
The set up is a 72ED refractor with a Solar Scout 60 quark attached to it. The Solar Scout 60 quark, while looking the same as a quark, it is not. It doesn't have any provision to connect to a normal scope. So we designed and 3D printed an adapter. As per the picture.
