Quark proms 27-02-15

[Stardust]

It seems an age since i've seen or had chance to do any solar imaging so took the opportunity yesterday. I took the proms and disc and this is my first attempt at combining the two. Also tried a different processing technique and whilst not perfect has given quite a dynamic image I feel.

Quark Chromo, TV85, PGR Blackfly 200/1000 frames each

Lovely stuff, I had planned to try the Quark after the LS60 yesterday but the weather had a different plan

Great shot Stardust.

[Stardust]

just been fiddling and got a better match of the images and less harsh processing towards the limb for a better balance, people outisde the hobby have no idea how much time goes into these images.

happier with this one

Thats excellent, like the colours

Nice one, very contrasty image, always worth exploring new techniques, you learn so much when you play.

Good stuff. Getting the limb and the proms from different exposure lengths to mesh sweetly is a tricky business!

In your last image I might be tempted to run the Dodge tool, set to shadows, around the limb since the limb goes bright-dark-bright from inside to outside, which isn't what is really happening.

But very nice stuff all the same.

Thanks guys and for the tips Olly, haven't used the dodge tool so will have a play. I'm always open the critic with helpful hints...

That's a proper fiery looking image!

A nice surprise when I arrived home from work today
