The Sun With DMK 31AF03
Pierre-Alain Arnaud is an amateur astronomer, who lives in a small village in Alpes de Haute-Provence (France).
Last weekend, he proudly submitted two images on the Sun, which he captured with his FireWire camera DMK 31AF03, manufactured by The Imaging Source.
The first clearly shows an active area on the Sun:
And the second, a prominence:
The images were captured on March 29, 2008 at 15:30, using the following hardware and software setup:
PST Coronado filters, DMK 31AF03 in ROI mode. Average prominence. The AVI was written in RGB 24, post-processed in Iris and finalized in Photoshop.
We welcome Pierre-Alain to the astronomy cameras community and look forward to receiving more of his magnificent images.

Pierre, really nice capture of the prominence. Is photography of the sun your main interest? I have found myself lately quite interested in solar photography. Again, great work.

Hello Dr. Anthony Recascino
If you are really interested in solar imaging, be sure to take a look at Oldfield’s Observation Log and Astronomy Blog. He is based in Hong Kong, deploys mainly The Imaging Source astronomy cameras and publishes solar images on an almost daily basis.

I am interested in all the areas our customers deploy The Imaging Source astronomy cameras.

Jonathan, by the way, thanks. I was able to view Oldfields logs today…some really interesting objects. Some the solar work was super…the detail/sharpness of the prominences/sunpsots and the granulation was truly maginificient. Also, the other images and objects found within the observation logs were quite interesting. Also, realizing who you are…this is quite funny as I am looking for one of your astro camera’s at the moment. In fact I was going to order one last night. I just wanted to do a little more research on it today before placing the order….wow! Small world.
Thanks, T
