Busy Day on Ol'Sol - Ha Solar
Feb 13, 2024 00:02:19 #
The clouds parted long enough to get a few Ha video shots of the sun late this afternoon.
Used a QHY 462C camera on a Lunt 60 Ha Solar scope with both a 2.5x and 5x Powermates, mounted on an iOptron CEM26.
Shot 21x1000 frames of SER video and processed for the best single frame using PIPP. Final tweaking in Lightroom and Photoshop.
Enjoy!

Nice shots. The Lunt with the narrow band Ha really gets some nice detail.

It was -6°C when shot these sessions BUT I'm sure the Sun was VERY hot.

If I was rolling in cash I'd upgrade to maybe a 152 mm Ha Solar scope but my budget isn't up to $10,000 for a dedicated solar scope... But it would be nice.
