The WL images first...
AR2816 and AR2815.
Remanent faculae near edge.

Great images Ken, or a case of blackheads and acne! That first one is super sharp.

Peter,
Yeah, still waiting for "the big one"
(The spot on the left reminds me of Wilson - from Castaway!!!!)

[Eris (Gerard)]

A great WL set of current features Ken. Did you use any filtration to help pick up on surface granulation?

Haha yes I see it!

[Merlin66 (Ken)]

Today in CaK.
The AR2816 and AR2815 (with the old AR2814 about to disappear)
There's also the un-named AR in the north west.
Bear with me while I come to terms with disk/proms combination....
Tried to show the CaK proms against the CaK surface.
I will improve, I promise!

Gerard,
Its a Baader Cool wedge (with Continuum filter) on the Genesis 100/500 and a x2 barlow, ASI 1600.
That was it.
Usual FC, AS3!, Imppg and Irfanview for colour.

[Eris (Gerard)]

Thanks for the info Ken. Much appreciated.

[Merlin66 (Ken)]

Gerard,
We’re here to help each other.
Hold hands in the traffic and take care.
Any other questions, just ask!
