PhotographerJohn O'NealLocationThe Good Times Observatory, Amherst, Ohio, USADate2012EquipmentVarious scope camera configurations: Lunt LS60THa, Canon 40D, TIS DMK31, Orion ED80 w/Baader Hershel Wedge. Antares 0.5 Focal Reducer, TeleVue 2.5x PowermateDescriptionWell, it's December and 2013 is right around the corner. I just love doing full disk images, so I thought, hey, wouldn't it be nice to do an annual summary of full disk images??????? To show the diversity of my instrumentation I would include images taken in white light, Calcium K and Hydrogen Alpha frequencies. Of course, I would have to include special events images like the Venus Transit and the Annular Eclipse. Oh, and images shot with the CCD camera as well as with the DSLR, telescopic images and camera lens images. So, with all that said here's my SOLARACTIVITIY Tribute to 2012. It WAS a very good year! |

Obviously, its tail was developed into a longer span with more than 7 degrees The detail enhancement picture was taken by Canon 60Da ISO 1600, 93s exposue at 13 March 2013, NZDT 21:51. |
