Nice capture, and you've got that little spot showing...... I was tempted to get out today, but we've got a lot of high cloud and it's been a breezy day.

Good start Roger, I use Firecapture with the LS60 and AS3 to process, did you take any long vids ? 3000 frames or so.

I was tempted by the Sun but it was really too windy here.

Roger,

Well done, a good start!

A little "over cooked" - Have you tried processing in AS3! and then tweaking - not too much in ImPPG???

When you say “1 x 3.17ms” is that literally one frame at 3.17ms exposure? If so, you will get better results by stacking a % of frames from an AVI captured over a number of seconds.

[Merlin66]

I assume you're using the ASI 178MM for solar imaging.....an AVI of 800 - 1000 frames should get you good results.

Nice job, @apophisOAS

Yes i know but this was the first time i used the scope so just wanted to see how i could process a frame , i also did a few 1000 -+ frame avis,taking longer to process as first time in Autostakkert3,

Thanks,

Roger

Great start! Well done!

As others have already said:
Bung a captured video through AS!3 and you may be very surprised what you get!

ImPPG is rather hard work for most beginners.
I'm still struggling not to completely overcook the sharpening.

Another tip: Don't have the Sharpen box ticked in AS!3.
If you have the Sharpen box ticked ImPPG opens as an overblown mess!
Ask me how I know this.
