Sun WL

[MilwaukeeLion]

Sunny & some wind made focus bounce bit.  Processed 600 frame avi in registax then 3600 frames in pipp & as2.  Not much difference in detail, first was fast & easy.   ES152, ASI120mm, .7 reducer, solar film.  Blue skies !

great shots mate, lovely detail. we have a new spot today, no chance of me seeing it, its like venus here in south wales, hope you have better skys across the pond. charl.

Nice captures. I would try stacking fewer frames out of the long series. I typically stack 200-400 frames out of 4000, so I get just the best frames. I do this directly in AS!3 and that seems to get e more detail than stacking more, for WL surface. There are plenty of photons in WL, so you do not need to stack many frames to get photon noise under control.

Thanks will give that a go today.  For some reason AS2 won't accept my SharpCap AVI's directly unless I produce a copy from PIPP.  AS2 gives me error message "access violation in module...".    Not sure what that's about.

A good start, some very nice detail visible there.

AS!2 can have problems on AVIs larger than 4 GB, AS!3 is 64 bit, and doesn't have that limitation. Otherwise it is the same
