A couple of images of AR2371 2 hours apart.

Nice finally to get time to image the cause of all the aurora we have been seeing around the world!

Top one at teabreak (10am) bottom lunch (1pm) The usual set up PST/DMK21au618, 2000 frames stacked 300. It really is a huge feature when you look at how much of the surrounding area is affected. Not a huge difference between the two considering how active its been.

Nice catch Pete, wanted to have another go at it today but too many clouds.

Very nice. Maybe worth making into an animation to make it easier to see the differences.

Nice shots Pete. Good to see another PST image amongst all these Quarks!

Nice work. I had the feeling there might be a little more detail in the shot with a touch more sharpening through LR deconvolution. This is 30 iterations with sigma = 1.05 run on the first image

[Pete Presland]

Thanks Micheal it certainly is sharper and more detailed. I hadnt processed at all other than in wavelets after in Registax 6, which programme did you use to apply the  LR deconvolution?

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

In this case I used my own LRGaussDeconv program (as I was working on a Linux box on which I hadn't installed my usual solar processing stuff), but ImPPG would give the same result. It is probably best to apply the deconvolution after stacking, without wavelets, but with unsharp masking applied afterwards
