03/30/2020 Solar Ha image

Post by AstroBee »


This image is two images combined. One image was taken to expose for the surface and the other for the very faint prominences along the edge.
The original files were 1000 frame SER files edited using AutoStakkert 3! and ImPPG. Combined and colorized in Photoshop CC.
The reason I set up yesterday was that I was alerted of a new sunspot just coming around the limb. You can just barely make it out up around the 10 o'clock position as a very small lighter colored area. Astronomers believe it might be the 4th from the new solar cycle 25.

Haha! Yes, yesterday and last night was a full day of astro imaging. It's amazing what you can do when you're unemployed and under quarantine!
Well, not really quarantined, just on self-isolation.
