Solex : Coronal Hole in HeID3

The entire day a blue sky, so perfect for an observation with my Sol'Ex. Before I started, the slit was cleaned using ethanol 96%. The result is much better then before.
Observation in H-alpha, MgIb2, HeID3, H-beta, CaIIH, H-epsilon and CaIIK.

HeID3 shows the coronal hole, facing towards Earth. It's shape is like a witch flying. 
Both H-alpha as CaII show activity.

It was also the first time I used a IR/UV L1 cut filter in stead of the IR cut filter. 
Seeing was between 1" and 2,5" (measured with SSM3), Sx/Sy was 1 and tilt < 0,5°.

Software: SharpCap, Inti, JSolex 5.6.1, CS4, AstroSurface.
