MUSK OBSERVATORY

Solar Features Observed: Full solar disk observed and imaged today as first observation. During the next day, I’ll try to zoom in on the details I will see.

Images submitted with this report (2) :The one of the chromosphere and the one with the prominences (one of them is jpg)

Problems Encountered:

-At first, I couldn’t see anything so I sent an email to Peter Detterline. Thanks to his advice I succeeded and observed the sun for the first time. What a wonderful feeling !

-Couldn’t superpose the two images properly, the one with the prominences keep coming as first layer. As it’s the first time for me using all that software, I’ll keep trying and learning and see if I manage to get the expected result.
