White Light Solar - Herschel Wedge
Oct 9, 2022 20:43:05 #
Changed pace a little today. Loaded a William Optics Megrez 90, Herschel Wedge and various Barlows with a Pt. Grey Chameleon camera on the iOptron CEM26 mount.
Shot two sessions of 2000 frames of video with a 2x Barlow and created the panorama in the first attachment.
I then swapped out the 2x Barlow for a 5x Barlow, the first time I've ever used 5x magnification on anything, and shot four sessions of 2000 frame of video for the Active Regions (AR) shown in the first attachment and a disturbed region on the right side of the sun.
I've added an Earth to scale to give an idea of the size of these 'sunspots'; huge!
Enjoy!

P.S.: With all this solar activity keep an eye out for Auroras!

Nice work. I like the earth size comparison.

Nice details and granularity.
Keep up the nice work.
