Wow that prom got large, very cool!

Think it was just last week supporting evidence of multiple mass extinction events due to meteors was released. Asteroids are slower, warmer, friendlier imo.

OMG OMG OMG 👯‍♂️

Wow that came out very nice.

Yep nice sunny day here but slim pickens. Took pst glance in am 2x barlow - Luminos 15mm. Only a small prom could I see, must of been your nice middle image prom.

My captures of iridium's are fairly uniform start to finish, only see a slight trail on one side not other in your capture. If captured at end or beginning of exposure and nothing in next or previous frame makes good case for meteor or debris 🤔 me thinks...

Certainly is interesting, captured meteors looking similar to your larger flash shown here but never with a second flash next to it. What exposure were you running ?

Gorgeous rendition of Apollo 15 landing site, well done.

Great catch Charl, and images, holiday weekend with nothing pressing to do thus im clouded out.

Oh wow, just checked out your plasma shower animation! Incredible, that's what i'm after. 7 to 8 seconds to align each? Took me 1-5 minutes to get each layer aligned 😆. The sub-pixel precision and batch processing will make doing these so much better. Will give it a go, thank you!

Hope you (and others) post some. This attempt came out better than first (just plucking frames from one long video). Next time I think spacing videos 5 minutes apart over hour or two will produce more dramatic prom action. I used winjupos to do a Jupiter animation that came out nice, not sure if it can be used with sun for the same though. It created in between videos which was nice doubling the # of frames to make a smooth animation. Can a prom even be de-rotated 🤔

Thanks Rusted sure, this time I ended up with 13 x 1000 frame mono 8 avi's taken minute apart. 1. Ran each vid through as3 stacking best 200 frames, saved each of 13 final images as tif named them prom1-prom13 in order. 2. Opened all 13 in photoshop at once (so each is separate project along top in ps, not layers yet) 3. Applied same unsharp mask and gamma settings to each image (playing with gamma brings out finer details of prom). 4. Roughly cropped each image to zoom in on area wanted to highlight. 5. One image at a time (in order) I copied and pasted into prom1 to create another layer, lowered opacity of new layer and lined up with first image, raised opacity back up. 6. Did final crop to clean up rough crop from earlier after lining up all 13 layers. 7. Click create frame animation, highlighted all layers and click create frames from layers, adjust speed of animation to your liking. 8. Played around with different colors ultimately settling on b&w inverted. 9. Click export (save for web legacy), other adjustments can play with there, then save as gif.

Nice, wow that was a huge prom especially considering the little dot just above it about size of earth.

Quick attempt early this morning before cloud. Still beginner with animations, trying different approaches. 13 x 1000 frame runs spaced minute apart. Omni xlt 102, daystar chrom, 174mm. clear skies.

My last session a little one spun itself right across middle of sct dew shield. Wasn't taking up much aperture so let it be until packed up.

Terrific images, that closeup of Copernicus is tops!

Nice Cluster, taken some in lightroom for quick looks. Clarity, no clarity, clarity, no clarity. Similar to effect you show (wide and crisp vs compact with inner glow). Kind of like inner glow myself.

Incredible.

Congratulations, seriously jaw dropping solar images!

Fantastic image of Jupiter !

Gorgeous image, really like highlight of detail separating Serenitatis & Imbrium smooth to detailed.

Turn off wifi on smart phone if its near you or pc's while doing remote wifi connect. Couldn't figure out why some nights connection between pc's was so poor. Dawned on me other night, phone was actually sitting on laptop. Turned off phone wifi and remote connect vastly improved.

Terrific capture and processing. Very cool to see both so close.

Too funny, reminds me of when I went camping up North took wolf howler to try and get responses. Next day half the local tavern was talking about a lone wolf howling all night.
