Wouldn't the image be perfectly circular and not have any chunks out of the side of it? And not a small circle in the middle with a mostly formed outside around it? Bokeh would look like this o or a completely filled in circle. I still say the opinion is out on this until we can see other examples of similar "artifacts" that can produce this effect, this does not look like any thing I have seen before that is known.

I believe there have been posts with links in this thread that show polygonal bokeh and explain them. Photographers exploit it for effects in photos.

edit on 14-5-2012 by butcherguy because: (no reason given)


concerning that, what is written about this suggests that it could be a catadioptric lens bokeh effect rather than polygonal which would produce a donut shaped blur from a point of light.

i don't think it is that either as this would be something uniformly seen due to the lens, from whatever point of light was at the right magnitude to create the effect. in other words... you have an image full of light, why are there not donuts all over it? doesn't make sense.

this is more than likely, imo, a reflection of the entire image and then duplicated once more less opaque... something to do with the telescope, yes... but since the entire image has light all over it... to think it was merely a blurring effect of the lens would suggest that we should be seeing a multitude of donuts or polygons.

we see two, one being more transparent than the other because it is a reflection of the first faulty reflection. a duplication of the first glare.

I think it could involve perhaps an internal reflection in the telescope.

If it were an internal reflection it's difficult to explain why it suddenly appeared on May 2.

why are there not donuts all over it? doesn't make sense.

There are, a number of them. The background subtraction software (which makes details of the corona more visible) subtracts them from the images seen here because they remain stationary in the frame. Just as this one will be when the next background mask is applied.

Here is a raw, unprocessed image. I've adjusted the contrast a bit.

that's true, but then again any reflections should have been eliminated anyway by the equipment itself.

I'm pretty sure multiple filters of different types are being used here. One is obviously in the center and is likely never removed or altered and a permanent part of the scope itself because that much light through the equipment could damage it I would think, but what if other parts of the equipment and application have some sort of maintenance processes at certain times or what if quite frankly... somebody messed up. Or what if something malfunctioned in the applications but it was rectified shortly thereafter.

I just think it is very strange that if you think about what the object looks like... it is what you would see if the light was coming in minus the colored filtering to see the flares better. I mean without those applications, but still with the permanent center filter... you would see a tunnel of light with a black center. the light around the sun would naturally be much brighter than it appears here...so it would fill up the entire scope, forming nearly a perfect circle with a black center from the permanent black filter.

It's too much of a coincidence... and then it is repeated once again laterally. Exactly laterally.

To me, it still says reflection. Some partially unfiltered reflection that temporarily occurred due to some mistake or flaw in one of the applications and shortly rectified thereafter explaining why it is not constantly seen. It was NEVER supposed to have been there.
