Coronal Hole and Sol'Ex images March 22

My Sol'Ex was used to capture the HeD3 line and after editing is was possible to bring forward the current coronal hole of the Sun. A comparison was made with SDO/AIA 211A and GOES19 195A. All in all it's not most beautiful picture but still I could capture the coronal hole. For sure I will try this again when a more deligned coronal hole shows up.






The day started with some bad seeing but during noon time seeing became better. I made time to adjust the Sol'Ex and was able to get sharp images in all captured wavelenghts.
Tilt was corrected with some very good results: 0,1° deviation... not bad at all. The most suffer from dust on the slit. Yesterday I did some cleaning, but not enough it seems.
