Here is just the eruption and slowed down to about 4 FPS... You can see some gravity waves.
Found a good solution to JPLs sometimes out of date ephemeris data. Just do a star fit and adjust position of space craft ππ°οΈ
Now that Mercury has made some progress in the FOV of LASCO C3 and CCOR-1 the videos are more interesting. Still waiting for it to move into the FOV of LASCO C2.
Relevant people
Mercury and cosmic ray hitting the LASCO-C3 sensor this morning as seen by SOHO s/c. Mercury will transit over the next week and will also show up on LASCO-C2 and likely CCOR-1 on GOES-19.
Added some nighttime city lights to fill the void. Red dots are fires detected by GOES-19. And of course Tropical Storm JD Vance in the lower left.
Here is a look back to Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet transit along wit Mercury from October of 2024 as a test of the new SUVI Viewer. Pretty cool if you ask me!
Added CCOR-1, LASCO-C2 and C3 along with NOAA WSA-ENlil model to my new SUVI Live viewer! And I got lucky to find Venus making a transit in the field of view on LASCO-C3!!
This is an X Class flare from 2025 to test all 6 wavelength playback along with flare intensity graph synced to video. SUVI via GOES-19.
Hurricane Vance! Testing out some new storm tracking capabilities - following the in footsteps of @coyotefxl
This is known as Little Rosette Nebula. Located in the constellation Cassiopeia located 7500 light-years away. About 27 hours of light to make this. This is part of a larger object known as the Question Mark Nebula, which I will try to capture next. This is the dot.
Teddy Bear Nebula (sorta hard to find the bear). Also known as "Pillars of Cepheus". About 3000 light-years away. The pillars are dense columns of gas and dust carved and sculpted by intense stellar winds and radiation from hot, newborn stars. 35 hours of light to make this image
Fish Head Nebula. 6000 light-years away in the Constellation Cassiopeia. 16 hours of light on this one.
The Cocoon Nebula. 3200 light-years away in constellation Cygnus. Both an emission and reflection nebula. 18 hours of light collected over 3 weeks.
Bubble Nebula is the main attraction, but there is no much more going on here. 7100 light years from Earth. The βbubbleβ is created by stellar wind from the central massive hot star. 17 hours of light collected.
Flying Dragon Nebula in HSS - 22 hours of integration. A very faint target in constellation of Cygnus. Rarely imaged due to time commitment. 4000 light-years away.
The Tulip Nebula. 6,000 light-years away. It's Nebula season again. Foraxx palette. Approximately 13 hours of integration. Quite a bit of OIII and Ha in this emission Nebula.
The Wizard Nebula. 7,200 light-years away. Approximately 4 million years old. Rich in Ha and OIII. Captured with 1000mm scope with approximately 13 hours of exposures. Foraxx palette.
