White light Sun, 27th April

[JamesF]

Bit of a fearsome day for imaging today. Plenty of sunshine, but clouds whizzing across the sky and a cold gusty wind that made it quite unpleasant to be outside without a coat regardless of the sun. I kicked off an imaging run and discovered that a fair few weren't even fully in the frame because of the movement of the telescope so did a second run straight afterwards and processed the lot.

So, 240 images of 1/1000th @ ISO100 with the 450D/127 Mak, preprocessed using PIPP. I dropped the cloudy ones and those where the image wasn't entirely in the frame and stacked 50% of what was left using Registax v6 at a quality level of better than 98%. Despite the conditions I'm actually really pleased with the result. I think it's possibly one of my better ones.

That's a good result with the conditions as they were.

You're getting fussy again sir , you need a little cloud to keep you on your toes . . .

Great result.

By that measure I should already be appearing in Swan Lake
