AR4055 taken with UV/IR Cut Filter

On 04/12/2025 10:52 am by David Hawkes | Sheffield, UK

Sunny conditions but some wispy cloud making conditions less than ideal, and today I’m trying my new UV/IR cut filter, and I’ m fairly happy with the results - it certainly seemed to improve the contrast on the sunspots. AR4055 is on its way out and so far there’s not too much to replace it but hopefully that’s going to change soon.

Skywatcher 200P 8” Newtonian, 9.5” Seymour Solar glass white light solar filter, 1.5” Antares Barlow lens, Baader UV/IR cut filter, Nikon Z7 II.

Registax 6 for wavelets and some crop/contrast edits, numbering.
