Hello All,

This is only my second attempt at capturing a solar image using the Baader solar film.

This is a single frame taken from a Canon 7D with a 1.4x teleconverter to increase image scale used at prime focus with the ED80.

The sun has quite a few interesting sunspots at the moment.

Having a few issues with Registax and it wont allow me to stack jpegs and just crashes when I try.

If I suss it out I shall try a stacked image

Any comments or pointers always welcome

I'd be very VERY happy with that pic. Well done you.

Thanks Al

Try version 5, It may be more stable.

Tried both Registax v5 and v6 and still no joy...

Great full disk!

[MjrTom]

Thanks

Glad its OK, still got a whole lot to learn I suspect

Great picture! Looks like you have the disc alignment sorted. Odd about Registax5 crashing - I've never had any trouble with it. Do you have enough memory in your computer? Thats the only thing I can think of that may make it fail?

Thanks again.

Yeah it was coming up with a memory error even though I have 4GB of RAM (3.2GB under win XP limitation)

I would have thought that was sufficient to stack a dozen 5mb jpegs....

There are a couple of settings to check - top centre of the screen - to do with extended mode, "default" and "always"- see below. If these don't work for you then its time to call an expert!! Oops! I forgot - I'm talking Registax5 here.

[MjrTom]

Thanks, I shall give it a try again

Nice capture there.

Stu.

[MjrTom]

Thanks Stu

Need to nail the issues with the software and 7D DSLR images but will get there in the end...

This was a handpicked single frame from a collection of 20 images captured.

This one showed the least seeing issues.

Wow! if that is a single shot, if you managed to stack them it would be awesome. I'd still be very happy with this one though.

That is great! The focus looks good with the single frame. You should be very pleased with that result!

[MjrTom]

Thankyou to both of you

Seeing Conditions on Sunday were very good at times

It's very addictive I would never have thought how interesting solar imaging is

More to come as long as the sun clears the rooftops around my garden, should have started this in spring not autumn
