Love the movie!

I presume you have something rather more ‘up-market’ than my humble Quark..?!

I ask, as I don’t know how you capture that seamless transition between the solar surface and the edge - you get a proper ‘overlap’ of details, whereas I get an ‘edge’, with little overlap nor detail….

Clear skies,

I use a filter system that I developed myself,  there are literally only two in the world. 

It is composed of three 1.6 angstrom hardcoated ultra high transmission calcium filters centered at 393.37nm and i have developed my own tilt mechanism called skybender.

I do capture in 16bit mode , and typically you must boost your gamma up.  It is different for every camera / filter / barlow , but for my system i was running 2x2 bin with 16 bit mode, and gamma set at 20 for this particular session; capture speed was 60FPS.    I use fire capture to record the videos.

Looks like your quark is performing quite well, and glad you were able to catch these spots      ,  

I love the third image, it reminds me of a cactus

Still dealing with forest fire haze in my sky, so no barlow.

Still Able to image coronal flux thread's falling into this new region on the limb, so not a total loss of sky,

great set.

Since the sky was pure white, i decided to use my shorty fluorite   

Same images one is just exposure boosted.

And a very large file using the 2.5x barlow focused on that top left region.

after a week of clouds and rain;   today i battled a patchy blue sky to try imaging.   It lasted about 15 whole minutes.

pre flare preview;  The active region was sucking in tons of matter and this made it unstable.  This is frames 1-65 , which is a few minutes before the big bow out.

First; two links to show it captured on  SDO-  hosted by lockheed martin

CLouds came in and ruined the finale here on earth over my telscope ;   but i caught quite a bit of the blast which you can see below.

This is the last frame before my screen went dark from clouds.  I cranked up the exposure to see through them, I got it at maximum flight.    Then the clouds got so thick max exposure did nothing.

Just so everyone is aware, this is caught in calcium light;  not h-alpha.

I am hoping it will make a flare just over the limb,  that is usually what happens to spots like these when they enter the more intense magnetic area out side of the earth side  view.

Thank you for looking, I do appreciate your interest here.

very powerful little monster,   still pretty active on that side of the limb; i just got some great  limb laces in super high rez out of that little menacing tempest

Glad you were able to capture the main event!

Cheers guys!

ImPPG might solve the wobble in a future, so yay!

Now all I need is for SharpCap to combine sequencer with live stacking, and I'll be a happy man!

I beleive firecapture can do that, and its free.

Today when i got home from work i raised the bar on my usual resolution and attached my basler aca3088-57um camera.  This little lapse represents a mere 1 Minute and 37 seconds worth of  actual time, captured at just 50 frames per second.  12 frames total.

The pulse event in the umbral core is extremely rapid, and seriously dwarfs the largest tidal wave on earth you could ever imagine..

Image was cropped by more than 90%. The file sizes are massive with this camera.

Thanks all! 😀

I thought it might be from AutoStakkert yes. Isn't the de-rotation thing for imaging with alt-az mounts?

I think its for everything but a german equatorial mount,  in either case it must be precisely tuned for it to work properly.  It is also possible it resets back to zero when your recording stops;  it may only work in single video captures.

I beleive the wobble is from an autostakkert advanced setting where you have it account for de-rotation

Very impressive, did you use a barlow or was just cropped?

Well, I think that's a bit elitist.  I'll have to start a similar forum, for low res images.  You know the type of images I mean, those that don't involve the dark arts such as stacking, but may resemble what you might see visually 😄..

By the very definition of "the best",  then yes it is quite elite.   

People do not sign up for the olympics without offering their most elite performance,  and people certainly do not send "non-elitist" photos to nasa apod.  .

I also have multiple websites; but its a childish point as i could care less about drawing traffic outside of here.  We are here together, to show our images; HERE..  This is a social networking system where people present their images. The forum I post in is literally titled "solar imaging"

I merely asked to see the best everyone has to offer, because I cannot possible sift through all the last 10 years of posts and thousands of individual users myself.   How am i supposed to know what you best is?  A crayon drawing you made with your eyeballs?

MY system is imaging only, if anyone put one eye on it; this would be the last thing they ever saw ever again in their life with that eye.    

I have never been so dumbfounded in my life.  There should be hundreds of photos by now so i guess I will just quit;  Respect in the astro community is just completely lost.

Explore  scientific Firstlight 127mm x 1200mm achromat  ;  first image is an old meade #140 2x triplet barlow;  second shot is a new celestron Luminos 2.5x  quadruplet barlow

I think it would be nice to have a repository of all the best  captures you have accumulated.   (only your best please!)
