The first light of Herschel Wedge

[willis]

God bless! We have sunshine today and I have 2 free lessons at the right time. Sun light just shone on the corridor just outside the laboratory! I compared the Thousand Oaks Optical Solar Filter Type 2+ & Herschel Wedge. The sun has a very small sunspot today. It is not obviously showed in my little LS35T, although LS35T showed a big beautiful prominence today. I used both Thousand Oaks Optical Solar Filter Type 2+ & Herschel Wedge on Equinox 12ED. The sun surface showed by Thousand Oaks was quite flat. However, the sun surface showed by Herschel Wedge has details! Well nothing to say & let the photos speak for themself.

Wow, it is really possible to get some surface details from Herschel Wedge beyond the sunspot area. I really have to try some time.

The transparency, seeing and my skill were bad. I guess the result can be better.

對，以120口徑來說，那些米粒組織應會再清晰一點的，視寧度影響很大。

另外Green Continuum濾鏡下週會到，可以試試。

我也找了一個EQ1的輕錘給你帶過台灣，剛好可以平衡相機。

Yes! The seeing affects a lot! When I shot the sunspot yesterday with Equinox 120ED & TV 5X, the video of the sunspot just fluctuated a lot! See if I can have something good today.

What skills are involved? You have seen me taking solar pictures. What skills did I use? There are not much mysteries in webcam photography. A lot depends on what I cannot control much, like transparency and seeing.

Not much about the webcam photography. In fact my post-processing skill in solar photos is bad. I used ur unobstructed LS75F and the final imaging is bad. http://willisao.blogspot.com/2010/01/ls ... epair.html
Yesterday, I posted the big prominence. Someone modified my photo with much better result. http://www.hkastroforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=18855
So.... I must say my skill is bad... There should be some skills in post-processing solar images I don't know...

next time I will give you my raw Jupiter AVI files to try processing with.

Practice make perfect.

Dear David,
I find that I am bad in post-process the solar image. Can u share with us how to color the image and how to enhance the details of the image?
