Sunspots on the photosphere, 2024-08-09

A large array of huge sunspots spanning across the sun's photosphere.

 

This photo was captured during the early afternoon of 9th August, 2024.

 

I used an 8" F5 newtonian stopped down to F20, a ZWO 533MM, Antlia red filter to reduce turbulent light from the blue channel and Baader solar film for a pure white and accurate image.

 

8000 frames captured via SharpCap using the seeing activated capture feature in the Pro version. This is incredibly helpful on days where conditions are inconsistent with clouds!

 

PIPP & Autostakkert 4 were used for stacking / stabilising. Register used for post and final work in Photoshop CC.
