Solar loops captured in the Hydrogen alpha wavelength over 13 minutes using a PST Stage 2 modified 4" f11 refractor with a DMK41 camera and 2.5x Powermate.

26 x 30 seconds videos were stacked in Registax v6 and stabilised in "Daves Video Stabiliser" and converted to an Avi in VirtualDub.

Very much a work in progress as I need to process the files individually at a higher resolution to get the best detail out of them rather than batch process them

You've got to be pleased with that. I can only imagine how painstaking this was to make but the outcome is spectacular. Well done indeed.

It is time consuming but enjoyable being out in the sun

This video was shot a few minutes earlier with a DMK21

Any chance you could post a link to the youtube version? I'd love to see this but flash doesn't seem to want to play on my pc.

If it's anything like your recent pictures it must be awesome.

Thanks, they are ace!

My wife loved them too - she said you can see the sun breathing.

Great animations Kev - really different - the scale and speed of these things is mind blowing

Excellent work Kev! Great animations, which remind us that the sun is dynamic and ever changing.
