Sun in White Light & H-alpha 14/01/22
While I was playing with my new portable mount, I was imaging the Sun with a Coronado PST and ASI120MC fitted with a 2x Barlow. I imaged the same regions of the Sun in H-alpha then tuned the etalon back to white light. This telescope gives horrendous Newton's Rings when the etalon is tuned to white light but my usual white light imaging rig won't attach to the new mount.
Both images here were 1,000 frame videos captured with SharpCap, then the best 30% were stacked. Colour was removed before processing then I added false colour back in at the end using Photoshop.
Lots of active regions visible on the Sun at the moment so it was interesting to see the various regions side by side in the different lights. The faculae were really popping in the white light images!
