Sun H-Alpha 2014 07 09

I have started to dabble abit in solarphotografy (in H-Alpha).

Got bored waiting for darkness to come again. 

After many ups and downs, some images I more and less threw away

I finally got this result.

It´s a 33 piece mosaic (some of the panes were almost completly overlapping).

Each pane is about 430 frames of which I stacked 10%.

I used flats aswell.

Equipment:

Telescope: Lunt B600 H-Alpha

Camera: QHY5L-II Color

Mount: HEQ5

Software:

-EZPlanetary (14bit capture mode)

-PIPP (for tossing away the color)

-AutoStakkert2! for stacking

-Photoshop for touchups and stitching.

I have 2 versions. One normal and one Inverted.

Tips, tricks and comments are more than welcome.

I wanna get better! 

The full size images can be found here.
