A decent Ha Sun from 11-Nov (finally)

[Olorin]

This morning I decide to go slow and easy and re-tried a 2 pane full disk.

I arranged myself a good setup where I could actually see my screen (under a blanket) but can still reach the focuser and adjust it.

I think I finally managed a decent solar disk.

I then proceeded to a 16 pane mosaic with a 2x barlow and I am still in the processing phase of it.

Please let me know you thoughts and how to improve (more panes via a 2x barlow is the next goal for me).

Thanks

Its not bad at all Dror. Worthy of a place in your gallery. I look forward to seeing the big one.

thanks everyone, here is the 16 panes downsized to 66%, I must say it is much better and the Newton ring are almost gone

The full image is in my Flicker account.

I would like to say thank you to many members here for their great advise and also to Houston Haynes for his solar you tube tutorials they were great help, THANKS.

Excellent work Dror. Nice blending, nice colour and no newton rings.

The second picture is so much improved with the NRs gone, it's a beautiful disc

Well done, Dror, wow for number two, great work

Good work Dror, well done. What sort of solar scope do you use?

[NickK]

Trying to work out if the ripples are solar based or interference patterns in the first image!

Great shots!

Nick,

Those were Mr. Newton's Rings - caused by optical interference.

[DrRobin]

Very nice Dror. Good detail and the blending on both is superb, you can't see the joins.

thanks a lot everyone for the kind words.

@Michael - I am using a Coronado SolarMax II 60mm

@Nick - yep these are Newton rings, the reason for not having them in the second picture is due to the usage of a longer focal length and smaller panes (16 overall)

@Robin - thanks the blending was done with photoshop (Automerge) since Auto Stitch is only doing jpgs I decide to try this method (as explained by Houston Hayens you tube tutorials)

Thanks again

Dror
