Trying the sun once more!

Hello,

I post this one so I can confirm or refute what I think I see:
it looks as if there is a filament that turns in the prominence shown. I seem to see it snaking up to join the close by prom. Still B&W, waiting for processing tips on solar images both in color and B&W wink

So much to learn about this filter: need experience!

Ciao all

LU075/LU165 and streampix question

Posted By Gianluca Valentini
Hello Anthony,

there are two icons for adjustments: one is the one you refer to where you find all the settings for gain, exposure,... and has two tabs, one for the settings and the other for the one shot functions. Right next to it on the left there is another icon that is the HARDWARE SETTINGS: if you click on that you will have a window with more tabs (can't remember exactly) but one of these tabs reads SETTINGS: there you will find some of the adjustments not available in the live adjustments window, such as framerate, bits per pixel, image flipping and color and mono option.

Hope this will help.

Ciao

Faint prominence

Posted By Gianluca Valentini
This one is from the latest batch and not at all faint. It appeared in fact a raging inferno 8) 8) 8)
I know: it's a bit overprocessed, but I wanted to extract all I could from the red channel.The sky turned out a bit reddish, but I think it was worthy.

This image was obtained by filming in 16 bit and then exporting directly into FITS files ready to be processed into Iris: It sure speeds up the processing routine grin

Data are the same of the previously posted image, except for the fact that it is 500/1500 frames stacked in Iris and processed in Photoshop.

As usual your comments are precious and well appreciated grin

Ciao guys
