Hello Robert,

you wrote:
> Which program do you use for aligning/stacking your lunar shots btw?

Before the FITS export in Streampix, I used both Iris and Registax 3.0. Lately Paolo taught me how to manually slect images in Iris and so I'll use Registax less and less wink

Ciao Robert

Ciao Wes

Hello Alan. Interesting experiment and great results too especially for a first time. Processing is great as usual: even if the technique is the one you use with planetary images, you've got a good eye and always manage to avoid overprocessing grin

Congrats again Alan

Solar Prominences - 09/07/2005

Hello Andrew,

beatiful picture! It must have been awesome at the eyepiece. It is related to the mega-flare (X17 class: one of the largest recorded) released by active region 798 which is expected to shoot out some more in the next 24 hrs. Needless to say, here the sun is invisible because of a thick black layer of clouds :C

Thanks for sharing it Andrew.

Ciao

Thrown for a loop!

Very good job Tom grin

For two days now I've been watching pictures of this event with envy, since it is raining here and it seems it will rain for a while >sad >sad >sad so no chances to get even just the end of this event! The funny thing is that all around us Europe seems to be doing not so bad weatherwise sad since I see pictures coming from Germany and Sicily so north and south of me!

So please keep on sending images like these which, even if they increase the pain of not being able to to see with one's own eyes :C, at least they satisfy curiosity smile

Ciao Tom

First light with my new C9,25

Well Jan congrats on the new scope and for a good 1st light. It looks that when seeing co-operates that scope is going to make you a happy guy grin


Have fun and enjoy the new toy grin

Great pictures Paul grin
I was watching the same group in H-alpha today dodging the clouds :C that later would cover everything. It was really a mesmerizing sight grin
I took some sequences and I'm processing them as I read this, although I don't expect much from them as I did all in a hurry as I had to do some things that couldn't wait :C
I hope to wake up to a beatiful sunny day tomorrow!

Ciao Paul and keep that solar scope working wink

quite the disturbance!

Well Alan, these are wonderful images 8O

I've been trying to image the same region from closer and farther away(F8, 20 and 24), but my results are nothing short of shameful compared to yours :S

You all guys are such an inspiration, but sometimes cwy
