Webcam imaging of Sun

[NickRose2006]

I need some pointers of how to get images of the sun and how to process them in Registax. I'm using a SPC900NC with a Celestron SP-C6 scope with a white light filter.

-What frame rate should I use, 10 or 30?

-How many frames should I capture, I've seen people doing 1,000?

-How Do I process in Registax, is it just like Kokatha Man's processing of Jupiter: http://stargazerslounge.com/showthread.php?t=110593

Thanks for any help.

Fastest frame rate available, take at least 500 -100 frames.

Let registax select the best 20%

There's a solar (Ha but the method is OK) tutorial on the registax website. (rhs - Sylvain Weiller)

Just like Merlin said really. Try and aim for at least 1000 frames or higher as this will mean more can be processed and stacked.

The SPC900 works best at 10fps and YUY2 capture format. If you take either 1000 frames or two minutes (1200 frames) to start with. If your scope can handle it go to 4000 frames or 5 mins of you can. Use anything over 400 frames for your image to keep the signal/noise ratio reasonable.
