DayStar Quark Comparison - Cold vs Hot - VI

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

DayStar Ha Chromosphere Quark is the filter that I use to take Solar images with. Before using, the unit needs to be warmed up to a preset temperature for maximum performance and it takes about 10 minutes for the warming process.
Just for kicks, I thought I would do a comparison of images using a Cold vs Hot Quark.

Top Image - Cold
Bottom Image - Heated to Target Temperature

So here we have two Solar images taken with the Quark of the same region. The top image is taken before warming of the Quark and the bottom image is after the Quark has reached target temperature. The top image is very similar of an image taken with a CaK filter and the bottom image shows full Hydrogen-Alpha resolution of the region. Interesting results!

Note: The Tuning Dial was turned all the way counter-clockwise for this test.

Revision D is the latest pic of my Solar Telescope with new gear. Here is a link for more details of my solar scope:

Thanks for looking!

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.
