H-Alpha Sun – January 23, 2013

Hello,

I send you my latest h-alpha-sundrawing from 23.01.2013. I send you the positive and the negative version of my drawing.

Object Name: Sun
Object Type: Star
Location: Freising-Lerchenfeld, Bavaria, Germany
Date: January 23, 2013
Media: graphite pencil, knife, digital tools (Minolta Dimage Z2 Camera)
Time: 13:45 – 15:00 MEZ

Telescope: Coronado PST (40/400mm)
Ocular: 9mm SW

I use a drawing pattern with lightgray sun. I draw the prominences, sunspots and filaments with graphite pencil. For the active regions and flares i use the knife to scrape the gray color off. On this away I can hold finest details.

You can find more of my sundrawings on my website: www.dersonnenzeichner.de

Kind regards,

Michael Wendl
