The rest of the sun was scanned with the camera to find more features, but found nothing.<br /> <br /> Photos were taken with the Skyris camera and the best images processed in Autostakkert, Registax, Photoshop, and PowerPoint to colorize and bring out contrast. The result is attached.<br /> <br /> Objects Viewed: Sun<br /> <br /> Problems Encountered: None<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> POSTED ONMAY 3, 2018<br /> Astronomy Report – 03 May 2018<br /> Astronomy Report<br /> <br /> Name: Eric Shear<br /> <br /> Crew: 193<br /> Date: May 3, 2018<br /> <br /> Sky Conditions: Clear until about noon, heavy clouds in the afternoon.<br /> <br /> Wind Conditions: Low<br /> <br /> Observation Start Time: 1100<br /> <br /> Observation End Time: 1500<br /> <br /> Summary:<br /> <br /> No pictures were taken with the camera today, because we hosted a group of schoolkids on a tour of the entire campus, including Musk. The astronomer set up the telescope to track the sun and each kid was allowed to look through it. There were two subgroups of kids, one at around 1130 and the other at around 1430.<br /> <br /> After the kids left, the astronomer closed up the observatory because of threatening rain.<br /> <br /> Objects Viewed: Sun<br /> <br /> Problems Encountered:<br /> <br /> Clouds began to obscure the sun during the second viewing.<br /> <br /> POSTED ONMAY 2, 2018<br /> Astronomy Report – May 2nd<br /> Astronomy Report<br /> <br /> Name: Eric Shear<br /> <br /> Crew: 193<br /> Date: May 2, 2018<br /> <br /> Sky Conditions: Heavy clouds &amp; rain for most of the day. The sun came out between the clouds in the afternoon.<br /> <br /> Wind Conditions: Low<br /> <br /> Observation Start Time: 1430<br /> <br /> Observation End Time: 1500<br /> <br /> Summary:<br /> <br /> On eye-viewing, the sun appeared to have no obvious features. The photo taken below has a tiny prominence.<br /> <br /> Photos were taken with the Skyris camera and the best images processed in Autostakkert, Registax, Photoshop, and PowerPoint to colorize and bring out contrast. The results are attached.<br /> <br /> Objects Viewed: Sun<br /> <br /> Problems Encountered:<br /> <br /> There was a light drizzle despite the sun being out among the clouds, so I waited 10-15 minutes before it stopped before taking the blanket off the telescope.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> POSTED ONMAY 1, 2018<br /> Astronomy Report – May 1st<br /> Astronomy Report<br /> <br /> Name: Eric Shear<br /> <br /> Crew: 193<br /> Date: May 1, 2018<br /> <br /> Sky Conditions: Mostly clear, occasional clouds<br /> <br /> Wind Conditions: Low<br /> <br /> Observation Start Time: 1330<br /> <br /> Observation End Time: 1400<br /> <br /> Summary:<br /> <br /> One small, shallow prominence was photographed on the Sun. No other features were apparent.<br /> <br /> Photos were taken with the Skyris camera and the best images processed in Autostakkert, Registax, Photoshop, and PowerPoint to colorize and bring out contrast. The results are attached.<br /> <br /> Objects Viewed: Sun<br /> <br /> Problems Encountered:<br /> <br /> One filament was spotted, but was nowhere to be found when viewed through the camera. No amount of tuning could bring it back. The prominence discovered today seems to have developed as quickly.<br /> <br /> [http://mdrs.marssociety.org/category/astronomy-report/page/4/ Source]</div>
