Excellent Marty -
It's tough out there today, I've spent the whole morning at the scope,waiting for gaps, trying to grab a solar image When it's not cloudy it's windy and when it's neither of those the seeing is terrible! Did manage to grab these two but that's it for today me thinks.

Great shot. Clear here again this morning just need the Sun to come up!

Wow, impressive prom and similarly impressive pic! Nice work Steve.
-
Great set Dave. Lots of prominence activity this week, hopefully means some spots on the way.
-
Thanks for that explanation. I will try that next time,

With my 1100D and Mak127 the other night I was shooting 1/100th second at ISO 100, so I would be surprised if you need ISO much higher than 200 although a barlow may change things a bit.

I try to keep my solar setup somewhat portable so that I can shift it around the garden in winter, accessing the Sun in the gaps between the trees

Great set, love the Copermicus amd Moretus shots

Nice Moon Daz. The AtikGP Cam can record video at upto 30fps so this would be just under 3 minutes of video. Most capture apps (like FireCapture, SharpCap) let you specify either a time length or max number of frames to capture.
-
Assuming you have installed the driver then you should be able to use something like FireCapture or SharpCap for capture. Once the driver is installed and the camera plugged in, start FC. It should automatically detect the camera type and go to the main screen. There are tutorial videos on FireCapture here.

Yuk, clouds

Different approach tonight using the ASI178MM to image instead of the 1100D. Some cloud cover before I Managed to complete the data capture but I'm reasonably happy with the result. This is a 9 pane mosaic, each pane being a stack of 55 frames from 1000.

Another glorious sunny day here. AR12733 continues to rotate into view although it shows no sunspots at this time. Loads of prominence activity in both Ca-K and H Alpha. Seeing was not the best today but I made do
