Solar Prominences Time Lapse (2018-04-18)

[PhotoGav]

I have wanted to try and make a solar time lapse for some time now. Finally, here is my first attempt. It is about an hour and a half of real time compressed into 4 seconds. It consists of 120 frames made from 25% of approx 500 frame videos taken with a Lunt LS50THa scope, 2.5x Powermate and Chameleon 3 camera. It has been a painful process to put together as I have had to stack each frame individually and then fiddle about with the sequence to try and steady the movement. That hasn't worked particularly well, but this is the best I can do this time!!! I look forward to hearing your thoughts and advice for the next time I try... if the Sun ever comes out again!!!

That's nice for a first attempt. Have a look at ImPPG as that will do all the aligning for you.

I think it looks very nice, Gav.  I've wanted to try that myself, but know it's a lot of work. LOL

Thanks much for the share.
