Aurora Iceland

With a Kp 4 (or was it more?) we could observe polarlight in Iceland. Observation was done in Hellissandur near the Coast. Sky cleared up but with high clouds. Polarlight was visible as from 22h but kept going for a couple of hours. A certain moments the entire sky was colored green. Picture taken by my daughter with iPhone. So more pictures to come.

Sunspot AR4197

Sunspot AR4197 consists of about 50 spots and is 740MH big. Late afternoon clouds started to disappear and I installed my TAL200K. My parents were at home and I let them watch the big sunspot. Next I connected my ASI290MM camera and took some images. Seeing wasn't good which resulted in more then 500Gb of data. Stacking was done using AstroSurface but editing was done with IMPPG and CS4.

Setting: TAL200 f/8.5, barlow x2 and ASI290MM
Filters : ND5.0, IR/UV cut and OIII
Software: SharpCap, AstroSurface, IMPPG and CS4
