Solar White Light
Apr 1, 2017 15:58:16 #
Processed the following solar white light image from 30 sec. of 4K video off a Sony RX10 III camera with Orion solar filter. Image is the combination of the best 95 frames out of 945 frames (600mm, f/4, 1/1000sec @ ISO100); processed in Registax. This equipment configuration will be the one I'm using on August 21st for the solar eclipse.

You have a ton more patience to work with something like that than I do. I'm excited to see your results on the eclipse. Good shooting

Another fine job. Nice details on the Sun spots.

Not much patience involved, just processing of 4K video frames...

Nice job of shooting and stacking.
Its really nice to see someone else shoot our closest star.
You did a very nice job of stacking in Registax.
Have you played around with AutoStakkert!2 by chance? It's another free stacking program that works pretty well.

I've found they all work well on uncompressed AVI's but I normally export individual video frames and process them as images.
I known Registax and AviStack2 process images. Not sure about Autostakkert?

I need something to stack individual .FITS files from my QHY10 ONE SHOT CAMERA.
I don't like DSS very well if my stars are dim it will not stack the shots.

Autostakkert will take a batch of files and treat them like a video.
It sometimes works quite well.
One of the keys I am finding is to select a pretty small area for the anchor point.
I am now dropping the size down using the number keys to get a pretty small square and set it on a nice contrast feature.
I just finished processing todays full sun in reverse Hydrogen Alpha.
I will drop a link in here rather than the photo so you can poke around a bit if you so desire.
Best of luck.

Thank you.
I'm using a Celestron 236M Mono CMOS for those images.
I've had really nice luck with it and the color version as well.
The gotcha with that camera is that at 500mm focal length on the Lunt I can only get half of the sun in my largest image.
I have to shoot both the top and bottom and then I use Microsoft ICE to stitch them into one full image.
Things have to be pretty closely lined up to get the ICE software to work correctly.
