Hello,

as Monty Pithon used to say "and now for something completely different".

I'm processing a few test sequences with the Infinity and a Coronado filter. The sun was very low in the sky (I think a little above 20°) and the seeing wasn't great, but the camera proved to work fine even on the sun: now I just have to learn how to use it properly grin

However, time data are on the pic. Taken at F22.5 with Takahashi 102 and Solarmax 90/BF30. I used Iris to align and stack (100/700 frames) and PS to touch up and colorize.

Ciao all

PS I plan to try the multiple alignment technique also on this picture, as there is a striking difference between the right and and the left side. Soon I'll give it a shot.

Hi Luca -

I think you are using it just fine. With good seeing the results should be superb.
ps - the sun was out here today too.

best,
Alan
