Calcium K Sun 5th June 2016

Date

An eventual turnaround in the weather in the NE of England allowed a quick capture with my Lunt CaK filter (B1200 filter mounted in 90 star diagonal) housed in a WO Megrez 72 (focal length 432mm at f/6). Images captured with a Point Grey GS3-U3-28S4M-C camera. This combination yields a full solar image. Time constraints meant I didn’t spend enough time getting good focus, and there was a lot of atmospheric disturbance, but a capture is a capture.

No sunspots on show today, but some magnetic activity shown  above and below the equatorial regions.

 
A quick reprocess in AutoStakkert! 2.6.6, looks a little better.

Thanks for looking.
