a bit of sun 6-8

[Ibbo!]

First off 2 halves of the sun as I cannot get it to stitch into full disc.

I have bought a focal reducer to cut the number of frames needed to get the whole disc (well it would be if I could join it up)

3 panes in each image 50 frames to each panel stacked in AS2 and tortured in PS

Frankie met his new best friend today a double stack unit(on loan I am very lucky)

it was a bit heath robinson as it was hand held and adjustments where at arms length (eyes as well for focusing)

and a bit of added colour

they have turned out very nicely, that flare on the surface looks excellent! the surface is stealing the show at the moment.

These are super :)

I think perhaps there isn't enough overlap to get the two half together but you could do it manually instead

Those are excellent Steve, I like the close ups does that mean youve sussed the issues with the scope?

[Ibbo!]

thanks

No I'm afraid not Phil

Thanks Alexandra

thought I had enough overlap and not while I'm so tired   I'm likely to put them back to back

Super work, Steve I love that new AR.

I haven't done much stitching and have done it by hand so far, no idea on that.

Which reducer are you using, it seems to be working a treat?

Cheapo brightstar

need to fashion a better way of holding it

perhaps the lathe will be fired up a little later

Thanks Steve, I've not heard of that one, is it a 0.5x reducer?

[Ibbo!]

Was from Bern listed as variable power fr

Depends on distance

I will test mine when I've fixed in place rather than rattling around just laying on the BF

Some very nice images.
