The sun finally appeared so I took a TimeLapse video of it

I used the Quark Chromosphere to image the sun....along with the Daystar Scout solar scope to do a timelapse of the surface. There are several steps used to get a TL....if anyone is interested in doing these I will post the process. I am not sure I am doing it the best way....probably not, but it works ok for me. All of the software I am using with the exception of Premier Pro is free. But I know there is free software available to do the same thing that Premier Pro does.
This link is a vimeo video of the very interesting solar telescope, Big Bear!

The "Hog" will not let me upload the Surface image ..but here is a link to it on Astrobin

Nice Ed. Silly question, do you also have to use a solar filter in front of the scope when you use the Quark Chromo?

Nice image stack and video!
Are you using eyepiece projection or is this a crop of the original image or is your image really this tight with the 65 mm scope? I do some H-a solar photography with the same ZWO camera on a PST (40 mm) and the Sun is fairly small - thus my question. Thanks for any response! Jon

No eyepiece projection and yes, I am cropping. With the Quark Chromosphere on the AT65EDQ using the ASI120MM camera, I get about 1/5th of the sun in my FOV. With the Daystar SCOUT mounted on top, I get almost the entire disk using the ASI174MM-C.....and I can get the entire disk with the ASI1600MM-C but the frame rate sucks on that camera.

Actually that’s the easy part I write an action in Photoshop to color and crop and then I batch apply.

It just hit me why you were asking. There is no eyepiece but these Daystar instruments have 5x barlows build in. This helps to limit the sun's light but it makes the effective focal lenght 5x or 300 for the Scout and 2200mm for the AT65EDQ.
My guess that is what had you scratching your head.
