H Alpha Prom Time Lapse

[PhotoGav]

I have been away over Easter, while the sky was nice and clear... back late yesterday and, despite it being virtually cloudy today (hence the phasey flashy bits!), I had to have a play with the solar scope. Thought I'd try a time lapse. This is one hour compressed into about three seconds, then looped a few times. It is made up of 103 ten second captures taken every 30 seconds (there were 120 captures made, but 17 were totally screwed up in processing, by passing cloud, so eliminated). 15% of about 400 frames per capture stacked in AS!3, aligned in ImPPG, sequenced in Premiere Pro. Lunt LS50THa with Chameleon3 and 2.5x Powermate. Quite happy with the results, at least there is some visible movement in the big prom. I look forward to trying this again in decent seeing.

Very nice.  Particularly picking up that sudden burst to the left of the main prom.
