The Sun in H-alpha

Posted By Alan Friedman

Hi Paul -

I get this glare with my sm90 sometimes. Rotation in Photoshop is trial and error but you will get the hang of it. You certainly have enough sunny days to practice on! 8)

Congratulations on your H-Alpha set-up - look forward to seeing the images.

Hi Stefan - what a fine expanse of lunar landscape - you've rendered it beautifully.
Look forward to seeing more from your new camera.

Wes - This image is filled with interesting features - I love that little crater chain arc to the very right - as if placed on purpose, all showing differently the effects of age.

A great story displayed with breathtaking clarity and detail.

best wishes -

Hi Paul -

Excellent! - catching an eruption in progress is one of the greatest thrills of solar observing. I like how you've processed your new prominence image also.

Pitatus and Hesiodus A

Hi Wes -

Excellent! I imaged this region the month before and though I haven't finished working on it I've spent quite a bit of time looking at Hesiodus A -
what a fascinating feature.

Hi Wes -

Glorious image! - the textural difference between the highlands and the maria is rendered beautifully through your processing.
