Iainp Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) I've processed about 30 different video sets this evening, and discovered something very useful: lowering the magnification can lead to more detail being revealed than with higher magnification. Actually, I already knew this, but find it hard not to zoom in all the time. The first image is a full frame with the 2X barlow, the second a full frame with the 3X, rather than the usual closer crop. These are probably the best results I've had so far. Happy days!

David Smith Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Very nice Iain. Lots to be said for lower power views and images I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iainp Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Thanks guys. Yes, I have the 3X on as the 'default' but most of the time the seeing conditions just don't warrant it, I'm beginning to realise. Also I get a low frame rate (15 per second) with full frame whereas with a smaller ROI it's much higher, so that's another temptation to get in close. Results today suggest 15 fps is perfectly usable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey-T Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Excellent images Iain, never used a Barlow on solar, usually have to use a .5X focal reducer with the Quark unless the seeing is good. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cshahar Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Excellent details Iain. These are definitely your most impressive images. I really like the dramatic renditions here. Really well done! Interestingly, I have been experimenting with ROI as well, and have some images I will post of the same subject. But these are very inspiring for me! I am so happy that you found your groove! -Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowjiber Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Very nice, Iain. I like the 2x image better actually. Like you, I'm always wanting to add more power, but my 1.5x barlow gives the most pleasing views. Clear Skies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
