Description

Dec 10, 2020 - AR2790 Sunspot

Unfortunately, it's mostly cloudy this time of year because it seems like the sun is active again with fresh sunspots and active prominences. I used the same equipment and technique that I used to capture AS2786 sunspot with this new one, I was really hoping to capture that huge flare when it reaches the edge but oh well it's cloudy.

As usual my setup is:

Lunt60THa with custom auto focuser and pressure tuner telescope

Televue 5x barlow

ZWO ASI174MM Camera

iOptron CEM25P Mount

I ended capturing 156 videos (from 11:51am till 1:54pm) 2000 frames each with 30sec delay in between, later I stacked best 12% in AS3 and the final time-lapse is playing at 20FPS
