Solar Prominence (04.05.2024)

Last week I had a little break in the clouds and another hour or so to tinker with my new h-alpha scope. The wife found the view of me with one of our daughters Bluey blankets over my head an amusing sight, think I may need to find a more suitable shroud in order for me to see the laptop screen properly.

Thought I would experiment a bit with a smaller ROI, I aim to pickup a barlow at some point but for now a smaller ROI gives the effect of zooming in but without any actual increase in resolution. I assumed the tuning sweet spot would be consistent from one session to another and I might be able to keep the pressure tuning knob in position for the next time. It got me close but I did find on this occasion I had to back the tuner off a bit from the position I had it in last time, I'm not sure if that's normal or not.

My daughter is currently recovering from surgery so I doubt I'll get much opportunity for astrophotography in the next week or two, I have a few other clips in the bank to keep me busy with a bit of processing experimentation.

Thanks for looking and clear skies all.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
