Tony

Hello Hughsie,thanks and that is exactly how i,m doing it yes so would be very grateful for any help/advice.

Hello everyone,once again absolute splendid images been posted yesterday and today and once again I am posting my own humble offering,know I have a lot of work to do on getting the exposure right over the entire disc but it is good fun trying to get things right and always receive encouraging responses from you guys

As always absolutely magnificent images,gives me something to aspire to 

Tony

Hello everyone

Just adding a couple of my own to the terrific images posted today after a glorious day of beautiful spring sunshine,does anyone have any advice when using false colour in Gimp as I always make a pigs ear of it whenever I attempt it,its more for when I attempt to do overlaying of a disc onto flares to get a colour image.

Thanks

Tony

Ok thanks for your reply Dave

Tony

Thanks again

Understand what you mean and its certainly worth a try.

On another topic just wondering about greasing the pressure tuner,got some 100 percent pure silicone grease and was curious if this is ok to use and how much to use

Tony

Hello all and thanks for your comments,Macavity I'm not sure I undertand,do you mean just physically rotate the camera in the eyepiece,wouldn't this just move the over exposure to another place going by what Dave has suggested regarding the sensor chip,dont really know if I have fully understand the last couple of replies.

Tony

Thank you so much John,will see if I can track it down.

Hello again John

Well I heard back very quickly from FLO and the guy there said he had a similar problem and the answer he gave was most likely the tuning which is exactly as you told me John,going to take all your advice and apply when the sun comes out again which isn't often when you live in the north of England.?

Thanks again

Tony

Hi John

Thanks again for replying,such helpful people on this site.

Well  only just got the scope at the end of August brand new,what is concerning me is that I have just bought the zwo asi174mm in the last week so have sent off a couple of pictures to the supplier together with detail of the problem so am waiting to hear back from them as it could be a camera issue, dont seem to have a problem with my zwo asi120mc-s

Hi Dave

 thanks for your reply and no I haven't checked that but the scope is only about 4 weeks old so could this happen to an almost new scope?

Tony

Hi John

Thanks for replying and here is one of my images,the over exposure always seems to be in the same area and as I say I dont know why this should be.

Hi Dave

If you mean what equipment its a Lunt ls60 bf1200

Tony

Hi Dave

I have been using Sharpcap but am going to try using Firecapture

Tony

Hello

Whenever I take a solar capture and look at in Autostakert or Registax the eastern side of the image or around about twenty past on a clock face is over exposed to the rest of the image and really dont understand why it is so if anyone has ideas I would be really grateful.

Thanks 

Tony
