AR12414 in Ha - 12th September

A rough and ready (ie no flats applied) shot of this active region taken with the Meade AR5 (127mm) refractor using the Daystar Quark and PGR Blackfly IMX249 GigE camera.

Active Regions Closeup In CaK - 10th september

They aren't the largest of active regions, but they are still active never the less, and the seeing conditions were favourable when I took this image with the 60mm ED scope at 1900mm focal length with the homebrew CaK filter and the PGR Blackfly IMX249 GigE camera.  The large pixels of this camera work well at these longer focal lengths in CaK.

CaK Full Disk 10th September

The seeing conditions seemed to be just right when I was imaging in CaK wavelengths as can be seen in this image taken with the 40mm scope at 650mm focal length with the PGR Blackfly and homebrew CaK filter.  I was feeling optimistic so took the shot below with the same barlow combination on the 60mm f10 sope to give me a shade uder 1000mm focal length to take a shot of the suns mid riff to highlight the active regions slightly better:

Ha Full Disk 10th September

The sun is relatively quiet at the moment, but it still looks nice with smaller scale features as can be seen in this image taken with the Coronado DS40 and PGR Blackfly IMX249 camera.

Active Regions 10th september

Not sure i'm keen on how the processing came out with these, but it still shows the pair of active regions that were visible quite well, and then over the next couple of days developed rapidly. Taken with the Skywatcher ED80, Daystar Quark, Baader solar telecompressor and the PGR Blackfly GigE IMX249 camera.

Departing Filaments 10th September

Taken with the ED80 and Daystar Quark, the sun was fairly quiet but there were quite a few filaments heading towards the limb.  

Closeups With the 127mm Scope 10th September

Conditions were pushing it to use the 127mm Meade AR5 with the Daystar Quark late in the afternoon, but it was nearly a month since I managed to do any proper imaging, so I decided to just give it a go.  The images are somewhat soft, but still nice to see the sun.
