There's definately stuff to look at :)
Howard E. was kind enough to send a few images taken at the Winter Star Party in Florida. These images were taken over several days in varying conditions.
In addition to the images I have added a portion of his text.
“…..imaging with the Lunt B600 Ca-K diagonal at the Winter Star Party in Florida. I have been using the diagonal since March 2009 after ordering it during the previous star party. I have imaged with it around 200 days since, taking both whole-disk and close ups, and it is performing flawlessly.”
“…We have had mixed weather here at the star party with seeing ranging from poor to great, with mixture of clear and clouds. Today it is gusty and partly cloudy, but I will get more Ca-K images sometime today. Attached below are photos of the past 4 days at the star party, close ups of Ar 1045, and a composite comparing continuum and Ca-K. The Ca-K reveals so much more regarding the spots, magnetic activity, and prominences, that I have all but abandoned continuum imaging. I am thrilled to be able to continue to use the Ca-K diagonal on a daily basis…”
Thank you very much Howard!. It is so very rewarding to get images and feedback like this from our customers.
We invite anyone who has images to send them in with a description of what is used and how..
