Equipment

PST CaK with DMK31AU03.AS for the whole sun image and an additional Meade 140 2x barlow for the animation images.

Description

Clear skies today, but the temp was 22 degrees with 20mph winds. I wanted to grab an image from the sun quickly. When I started capturing I realized that there was a faint but huge prominance visible in CaK. When I finished my full sun image, I captured a close up and believed that the shape had changed in the short time, so I grabbed a few more images, until my hands had trouble operating the laptop. Once processed, I saw that I captured a CME in full swing. (animated gif available (226kB) of the ejection. Can email)

Equipment

C14 EdgeHD on Losmandy G11; Point Grey Flea3 camera and Astronomik LRGB Type 2 filters

Description

The great white storm of 2010/11 on the planet Saturn was captured using video techniques. Processed using AviStack v2 and MaximDL. This is the most dramtic event seen in my experience, which reaches back to the 1960's! Tethys and its shadow can also be seen at the bottom of the planet, a mere white and dark speck, and the moon Dione below the left side of the rings.
