Hi All,

Here is my first attempt at a high resolution full solar disk hydrogen alpha mosaic (9 panels with solar surface & prominences).

This was 6,032 frames with a DMK 21AF04 FireWire camera & a Lunt 60mm/50F H-alpha solar scope.

Captured from my backyard in Dayton, Ohio on 08-25-2011, north is up in this image.

I've been thinking about trying this mosaic with the DMK 21AF04 for a while, but had to set aside some time to give it a try.

It was clear last night, but I did not go out, because I was processing this sun image!

It was a lot of work, about 8 hours of processing all of the frames and panel assembly, but now I think it was well worth the effort!

Attached is an illustrated version with Earth for a size comparison.

I just love my DMK 21AF04 Camera, it's been flawless and a serious work horse for me since 2007!

Thanks!

Best Regards,

John Chumack
