These solar H-alpha images were taken late in the afternoon of 14-Oct-02. Despite the low elevation, the crisp-clear skies provided some magnificent views. The hedge-row prominence seen above was such a fascinating sight in the eyepiece, that I decided to capture a closer shot of it (below)!
Images taken with a Coronado Solarmax90/T-Max and 30mm blocking filter attached to a Takahashi FS128 using a Canon EOS D60 digital SLR at prime focus for the full-disk image and a TeleVue 4x Powermate with T-Adapter for the latter. Processing was done in Images Plus and final polishing in Adobe PhotoShop. |
