Sun 1st of September 2024
Another day of strong solar activity. This is captured in H-Alpha using my William Optics 60mm Refractor, with a Daystar Quark Filter. This is a mosaic of 4 images made from 300 frames each. The Camera used was a ZWO ASI 432MM. Image was captured the 1st of September 2024 at 19h43 UTC from Concord, CA.
Below is a zoom on the large protuberance from the image taken with the William Optics 60mm refractor.
As a comparison, here is a picture of the Sun taken earlier the same day by the National Solar Observatory Integrated Synoptic Program (NISP).
