It's been a while since i've got round to putting up some images here. Full disk taken with the LC50 etalon on the 60mm f6 scope, TZ4, Solar SPectrum 0.3a, 0.65x telecompressor and ZWO183mm with 2x2 binning. Lots of contrast and quite difficult to get even, but slow exposure time means I probaly won't be using it as my regular grab and go gor full disks.
Images of the Sun, our local star, at a range of wavelengths with specialist solar telescopes. Imaging tutorials, solar bits and pieces for sale, talks and outreach with the Charlie Bates Solar Astronomy Project CBSAP.

Ha Full Disk 12th March
The weather has been awful of late, so when sunday offered something almost resembling clear (well hazy really!) skies I decided to just get the scope and go fishing for the less hazy breaks. Seeing was awful and are loosing resolution even at the full disk scale, but, it is nice just to be able to see the sun really!

Stekkar Aurora, Iceland Tuesday 21st February 2023
There was only one real aurora display from a week in Iceland and here it is. Taken from 22.19ut till 23.29ut on Tuesday 21st February. Canon 350D 10mm f4 iso800 30s.
Sunocular Fun Tuesday 21st February
Away in the wilderness of Iceland it was nice to get a view of a hazy sun with the Lunt 8x32 Sunoculars.
These are a great piece of very portable solar equipment that provide meaningful views
All the main sunspot groups were quite easy to see, with the image below approximated what could be seen visually very well.
The end of the day was clear and cold and provided a lovely view of the conjunction of the Moon, Venus and Jupiter.

First Sunshine of the Year 5th February
First solar imaging of the year, and also first iamging with the solar spectrum rg38 0.3a Ha filter on the 100mm f8 APM triplet. TZ4 was used to get to f32 with the camera being the FLIR IMX174. Sky conditions were thick haze and these were taken with long exposure and very high gain just to punch through it all, very pleased with the results given this. Very much looking foreward to being able to use this new setup in better conditions.
