Sun April 22nd 2024 Hydrogen beta

#1

Post by StarHugger »

Good Day All !

Got started at 9am with the seeing just ok but I pushed on and captured what I could but in the end the H beta disc was all that came through,

For as steady as things looked the resulting images told a different story...

Hoping to get some more chances soon as some more Sun is in the forecast the next few days.

Was an awesome Sunny day through out though, and I did have some fairly good live viewing even with all the seeing issues discovered later...

Well, Another one down,

Best of Luck and Have a Great Week Everyone !

Thanks indeed,

Its a broader band H beta of about 2nm...still crazy expensive to buy, you have to get down very narrow before H beta starts to resemble H Alpha, even tighter than H Alpha itself because the line is narrower and sports much less amplitude...

Thats actually why daystar quit manufacturing thier H beta quark, just too expensive to produce to that level.

I like the colour myself, in good seeing it can get some more interesting details too.
