Desperate times!

Hello guys,

out of sheer desperation for lack of solar phenomena to document, I returned to old captures and reprocess them.

This is an image taken on Aug. 26th cwy with my new h-alpha set up. I've posted a similar image from an avi taken one minute before this, but it was in false colors and it was processed with less alignment points.

The set up was:
TEC 180mm APO,
Solar Spectrum 0.3A,
180mm Baader ERF
4x telecentric (which bring the system to 5000mm focal length @ F28)
Lumenera Infinity 2-1M.
The seeing was OK but not great: I used only 45 out of 300 frames captured.

Sorry for bugging you with reruns, but boredom can make you do things you never thought you would :S

Ciao

Luca

Hi Luca,

Extreme detail, I never tire of seeing truly excellent images like this one be it sun,lunar or planets even if it is a rerun.

Thanks,
