60mm Lunt coronado D\S Chameleon cam 151 frames of 1000 Do the clicky thing for full res

200mm SCT and ZWO178 cam with ADC

If you get stuck give me a shout. Only prob with this method is you loose the spicules ther must be a way to sort it out

Oh i did get a few hours in 🛌

3am 😯 thats early i looked up and noticed i was 5-30 am. A bit like a winter imaging sess. I should have stopped up and got the sol kit out.

I collect 2 sets of data one for the disc and up the gan to get the proms. I stack in AS3. The disc is sharpened in imppg . Then into PS Open your best disc and a close in time prom image I do any cosmetics like clone stamp to remove any dust bunnies, stretching and final sharpening of the disc Also I usually drop the gamma a using image—adjustments- exposure to about 0.85 ish To the prom image I do a stretch in levels to bring up the proms (if need be ) and drop the black point to get a good background Back to the surface disc using the magic wand tool click the background (with a tolerance of between 20 and 50 in my case) this should give the “marching ants” round the edge but crop the proms if any are showing) select – inverse select-modiy-smooth (I use 10 but yours will vary) select- modify-contract (I use 2 to bring the ants just onto the disc) copy and paste onto the prom disc (ctrl C thenC trl V) use the move tool on the cropped surface disc to align with the prom image disc then use edit –free transform to resize the surce disc to fit the prom disc (I usually do it at “fit to screen” then zoom in to tidy it up)when happy with that click the “tick” in tool bar just above the image flatten the layer and crop to tidy the edges and centre you image save as a mono image –mode- RGB I then use a saved curve to colour the image

After i finished imaging staurn this morning I put an eyethingy in the end of the scope (but don't ell anybody) and had red fringe and blue fringe and thought you idiot use the ADC it is set for imaging and lo and behold the fringing vanished as if by magic even with x285

I will write it out later today if I get my jobs done.

Great capture Charl. I missed it, maybe I should have gone to bed earlier istead of processing jove while silly o'clock.

Escorted jupiter into e garage and now doing samefor saturn. Damper than last couple of outings but seeing vastly improved.

Yep 😖😫

60mm Lunt D/S Chameleon cam 151 frames stacked inAS3 sharpened in imppg and prodded and poked in PS Do the clicky thing for full res

Another go with the low down beast. 5 short sers chopped up due to cloud derotated in Winjupos to give me an L and layered onto the centre RGB image. 200mm SCT ZWO178 ADC

Thanks. Not sure I quite got on band today seeing was a bit choppy.

60mm Lunt with coroardo ds Chameleon am 101 frames prodded and poked in PS Click for full res

looks like I will miss out as the cloud supposed to come back at around 23-00. But they have been known to be wrong.

It sure is

yes that is better

My advice would be to pack the x5 away untill it is much higher in our skies. Also try stacking less frames, recently I have used 5 to 10% of 3000 frames.

Thanks folks . Nearly a months break. I will have my prefered collection software running again for the the next attempt. True but I am not holding my breath.

Thanks folks. I keep threathening to run them through winjupos and see if I can get anything else.

You want one of these

Low down Mr B with the 200mm sct give them a click or 3 for full res

Thanks guys. I've certanly seen it livelier.
