michael.h.f.wilkinson Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Nice one. I think you might get a bit more detail out of it with something like ImPPG's LR deconvolution for sharpening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael.h.f.wilkinson Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Thank youSorry, what is ImPPG LR?LR deconvolution is shorthand for Lucy-Richardson deconvolution. It is a pretty robust sharpening method that assumes you know something about the inevitable blur in your system. The implementation in ImPPG, a freeware program developed by an SGL member, assumes the blur is Gaussian, and you only have to enter the sigma value (and number of iteration, but that I keep fixed). Works a treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael.h.f.wilkinson Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 There are also some examples of its use here:http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/242304-a-short-guide-to-my-solar-image-processing-from-raw-data-to-single-pane/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey-T Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Coming along a treat Rob, you just need to invest in a tracking mount.I have a Sky Watcher Star adventurer which has a Solar tracking mode, I've used it with the Quark and 80mm refractor but haven't tried it with the LS60 which is a bit weighty but must give it a try to see if it's usable.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks encouraging, but as this will be its only useage I want to make sure its up to the job.ThanksRob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
