The sun had much activity this late afternoon. This is taken with the Lunt60 and ASI1600mm camera. Best 80% of 600 frames.

Thanks! I probably should have taken some rgb shots also.

I thought this one was pretty interesting. Looks like a football or a kids drawing of Saturn. Celestron Edge 9.25 w/reducer 30-120 sec Ha and 30-120 sec OIII ASI 1600mm camera.

Thanks Jim, it's about the same size as the ring.

I took this shot with the Celestron 9.25 Edge and 0.7 reducer. ASI 1600 mm. 40 - 60 sec subs for each color filter. I did not do luminance subs. The shot is cropped considerably. Bortle 7

I should have taken two or 3 different exposures and do a hdr composition in pixinsight and then a hdr multiscale tranfomation. I just tried the hdr multiscale transformation and tried every way possible and couldn't get good results. I got tied of processing it so this was the final.

Thanks Mike, You can really get hooked on imaging the sun, it changes so much. I take out the solar scope almost every sunny day. If there is something of interest especially large prominences I take some videos and do a quick process, don't have to spend much time on it unless you want to do...

Thanks Jim!

I combined the rgb from the ASI 533 MC with the Ha and OII of the ASI 1600mm using the NBRGBcombine script. I did 42-360 sec Ha, 30 -360 sec OII and 90-60 sec subs rgb. I wish I would have done less time on the narrowband because it was difficult to bring out the core.

Thank You! It looks like this week will be clear so I might do some narrow band imaging this week and if there are nice prominences on the sun I will do that also.

Thank You! I like the fact that it is constantly chaging.

I haven't taken very many shots lately. I have been doing more solar than deep sky. I'm starting to do some deep sky again and hoping to get out to a dark site. M27 was taken from my backyard which sorry to say it the most light polluted area of the sky, Bortle 7. I used the 9.25 edge with the...

Thanks, yes it was nice to get that many clear nights.

Thanks Jim, the transparency in Oregon is much better for deep sky which also helps for light pollution. The seeing is pretty bad most of the time, this was a pretty good night so I think Mars came out pretty good. Mars is also a lot smaller than in previous years so that makes a difference...

Thanks Alan, yes I sure did enjoy the clear nights. I still have a couple more targets to process. Looks like back to the clouds and rain.

It's been a while since posting here. We finally had clear nights for a record ammount of days in Portland area. I was able to set up and leave my scope set up for days. I shot the Orion Nebula with the Tak FSQ106 w/0.73 reducer and the ASI533mc and shot 60 second subs and 10 second subs and...

Thanks Jim, I just used a dslr . It will be higher tonight but I will have clouds the next two days. I think I will use my 28-105 lens next time because the tail is really long and probably will not fit at 70mm on my Canon 80 at a dark site.

I'm surprised there arn't that many shots of the comet. I'm sure they will be coming. I've been in a slump for imaging, I've been doing it for so long I needed to take a little break. I did get inspired by this naked eye comet. It did get a little cloudy but the tail was still visible through...

Thank you! Thanks to other people who found it and star removing software. I might go though more of my shots remove the stars and stretch the heck out of it to see what other objects will show up.

Thanks Jim!
