13.6.19

13th June 2019 Solar proms.

*

Thursday 13th. 10.30am 68/65F [Out/in]  Breezy [Southerly] but bright sunshine. Poor wireless internet in the observatory.

Nothing visible in white light in either the 180mm nor the 90mm. The 90mm shows clear limb darkening and mottled surface detail through Baader Solar foil. Not in the 180mm through the Lacerta 2" prism. Is this a function of the smaller aperture?

Very clear surface detail in the 6" in H-alpha through the binoviewers. Though nothing of note on the disk apart from a few whorls.

A striking "hedge" of proms on the Western limb. I'm going to try imaging this next.

5% of 3000 frames Registax 6,  PhotoFiltre7 for crop & recoloured.

The prom image [left] was cropped and brightened further to bring out more detail from the image on the right. Then a circle drawn and filled with black in PF7 to obscure the now, heavily overexposed sun. I am very obviously a complete beginner when it comes to extracting a decent image from my captured videos.
