Sun - 27.6.2022 at 11.15 Porkkala, Kirkkonummi Observation number 107387

Visibility V / V

Ben Kalland, Ursa (Helsinki)

Sunspot 3038. Sunny weather, of course, favors description but heat usually means poor seeing. Using a meter, I found a place on the plot where seeing was good. Steady wind and water surface a few meters away. I reduced the imaging area (ROI) of the sensor, got a faster shooting speed, and in half a minute I got a couple thousand images of which I stacked a few hundred. With this technique, I got clearly more details visible. My goal is to take a high resolution picture of the whole sun but making a mosaic is so challenging that I try to learn how to get more out of the bigger sensor. Lunt 80 + ASI183MM. Dyed and inverted.

AiryLab solar scintillation monitor SSM. Helppo käyttää. Paljastaa miten pienikin muutos, siis luokkaa 15 metriä, voi vaikuttaa dramaattisesti paikalliseen aurinkoseeingiin. Ne ensimmäiset metrit nimittäin ratkaisevat aika paljon. Aika tyyris, mutta ajattelin että kun olen oppinut parhaat sijainnit voin myydä sen eteenpäin. Ilmankin pärjää, pitää vaan uskoa että kuuma kallio, talo, asvaltti tms luovuttaa paljon lämpöä=ilma väreilee. Kun taas viileä vesi, tasainen tuuli, ruoho ym ovat mannaa.
