6th July - White Light Close Ups

[David Smith]

Up early this morning so had time for some close ups before the work and school run began. I took a bunch of videos in ser format and have not processed all of them yet but here is a couple of the better ones so far. These were taken through the Skywatcher Evostar 120 with the QHY5-II mono. I used both #56 green and Baader neodymium filters in front of the camera. Exposures were in the order of 30ms and I captured 1000 frames per video. These were then stacked in AS!2, sharpened in imPPG and finished in GIMP2.8. I did try to stitch them together but MS-ICE was having none of it.

The other videos were taken with different combinations of barlows and filters but I will have to process them another night now.

Nice pair of images. Shame they wouldn't stitch together though there's plenty of overlap.
