10960 in Halpha

This is my 1st experiment with the TEC180FL and Baader Herschel prism. I stil have to get the gist of white light image processing, but I thought I'd share it anyway grin

PS both images are reduced to 60% of their original size and the H-alpha is at F22 while the WL is at F28

I believe that this F20 shot is better than the F28 previously posted. This image is 100% of its original size.
As usual data are on the picture and the imaging system was:
TEC 180FL with Baader H-prism and Powermate 2,5x
Lumenera Infinity 2-1M
40 frames out of 300 captured with Lucam Recorder
manual selection in Registax 4.

Hi Paul

that sure is a small world wink

Considering its size, the image is really detailed. Congrats.

Mosaics question- solar HA

Posted By Gianluca Valentini

Sorry David but I have no idea on how to solve your problem sad

It seems a rather difficult question if you want to image the sun when there is nothing going on. I'm afraid you're gonna have to wait for the new solar cycle to start wink

961 (or 960?) in white light-June 29th

Here is another one from the day before: the seeing was even worse so I had to limit the focal length to apporx 3200mm. Still some granulation is visible although the manual selection was really hard 8O

registax

Posted By Gianluca Valentini

Hello Evan,

when I had your sort of problems (lumenera cameras' users all had them), I used to run my files through VirtualDub. Load the file in the program and then save it using the "save as old avi" option (if I remember correctly). It will positively work with Registax in the new version.
However, I learned fast that this cannot be common practice, because it is a useless burden. Processing is already a time consuming activity and accepting an unnecessary step is pure masochism.

So my advice is: find a way to avoid using VirtualDub. Which means: find what creates the problem with your avis and Registax and solve it, even if you have to uninstall and re-install all the related software. It sure beats using virtualdub with every file!

Sorry I can't help more than that sad
