Solar Animation

Hi Russell -

Very cool to see the comparison in different wavelengths of light. I wonder if it could be done with some sort of transition fade - perhaps it would make too a larger file?

Thanks for posting the image,
Alan

Full disk and raging AR 798

Posted By Alan Friedman
Nonsense! Spectacular shot and as a full disk it shows even better than mine the massive disturbance of this region.

Looks a little like a cyclops, too!

Beautifully done,
Alan

Light Cup's first Saturn image

Posted By Alan Friedman
Nice work, Ron - this is saturn imaging at its most challenging! Looking forward to seeing more of your images as saturn reaches a more favorable altitude.

Hi Dodi -

Very fine images of Mars and the moon.
I'm glad to hear that you are getting good results from your DMK. I think it rocks too. smile

Hi Luca -

Beautiful. I imaged an interesting prominence last weekend - these are much fun to work with - each with its own personality, like clouds.

best,
Alan

Mars 2005/8/21 IrRGB Richard Bosman

Hi Richard -

Super images and the filter images are great to see too.
The IR and R seem unusual to me - compared to my experience with these filters, they look reversed?
Maybe it is me that is reversed!

Thanks for posting,

Hi Robert -

Robert Heffner said:

Have you made any animations of these prominences?
(not sure how fast or slow they progress)

They move very fast. Images taken a few minutes apart at high magnifications will often not line up. I've done some animations in the past - this one covering about 20 minutes is looking at an active region head on:

The seeing was especially poor yesterday - I captured a quick stream and called it a day.

Thanks for your comments!

Hi Oliver -

I think it turned out very well and it's nice to see some detailed B&W after all this red!
