The Sun 13-9-08 - Various views of a quiet disk

Amazing blue-sky blazing sun sort of a day for the most part although it did cloud up from the south by 4pm. Although visually clear the atmosphere had other ideas and was causing the familiar jelly dance on the suns surface, so prominence images in particular were not processing out as sharp as they could.

The CaK image also proved tricky to process as the surface is easy to burn out if the gain is set too high and again after stacking if too much wavelet processing is applied.
It was a quiet sun again today with the largest prom in the west and no real surface interest to view.
