Sun in H-alpha, Beta, Gamma en CaIIH line using 2nd Gen slit and TLAPO80/480

Images of the Sun from March 9th with Solex Pro and 2nd Gen slit. As a scope I used TLAPO80/480 with Herschel wedge and ASI678MM camera.

Software : Sharpcap, Inti and CS4

Images: H-alpha, H-beta, H-gamma and CaIIH

Solex and first light with TLAPO80/480 - Best ever CaIIH line

This morning I changed from my TLAPO60/360 to my TLAPO80/480. I tried this before but I couldn't get the spectral lines in focus. After adjusting the connection between the Herschel Wedge and Sol'Ex the problem was solved. According the theory the combination of a 80mm f/6, 2nd Gen Slit of 6mm height and ASI678MM the solardisk would be fully visible. And yes, this was the case. According the same theory the use of a bigger scope should increase details, mainly in CaII lines. And also this was the case. 

Above CaIIH image is my best ever image Calcium image with a lot of details.

Setting: Sol'Ex Pro with 2nd Gen Slit, TLAPO80/480 f/6 and ASI678MM

Tilt 1,8° and Sx/SY 6,1; the latter one is cause by the huge ROI for this CaIIH line.

Update Star Adventurer 2i:

After my colleague, Walter, fixed my issue on the bad "snap" connection, I was able to take again some images of the nightsky. 

First I completed the polarallignment; next I opened my app "SA Console" and connected with the mount. I selected Astro-Time Lapse and took 200 images of constellation Orion.

Postprocessing was done with Startrails and CS4.

When looking in detail, the mount is not always very accurate. But I found out I did nog fixed the altitude bold; not sure if this was the cause.

Sol'Ex CaIIK Line Stack

After re-adjusting my Sol'Ex time to test. Seeing was very poor but still, I made some images in CaIIK line. The 10 images were made using INTI and stacked uising AS4!.The result was edited in CS4.

Preparation of Magnetogram Fe I 6173A

 One of the conditions of making a magnetogram is finding the right spectrum line. Not that easy. So finding the Fe I 6173 A line (which has a g=2,5) was the objective this morning. Comparing with the solarspectrum and Christian Buil's spectrum, I can say that I found it. Next time, I can start making the images for the magnetogram. I'm not 100% sure but the line split is visible. 

The Sun in H-alpha and Ha2cb

This morning a couple of hours clear sky. But still very poor seeing and a lot of wind. As a consequence my PC fell from the table, luckely without further damage.

I was able to connect my synscan to my PC and sharpcap. This made it possible to move the gear using the buttons in sharpcap. Much easier then working with the synscan handcontroller. Unfortunately due to weak USB connections, i lost connection everytime there is a gust of wind.

Beside this I'm not satisfied about the sharpness of the lines; in this case the H-alpha line. Even though I try to sharpen, using the collimator screw, focusser as cameraposition. Hopefully I can blame this later on the bad seeing. Let's wait and see. 

All data was submitted to SOLAP.
