Some WL imaging instead this day & my first FD without doing a Hi Res mosaic.

Have a great weekend

That Granulation is fantastic!!!

[Rusted]

Absolutely amazing!

How does Ewan do it?

Which parts of Hastings are higher than Mauna Loa?

Love the granulations.

What exactly were you using to take and process these granulation images??

AZEQ6-GT

152mm Tecnosky

3.8 Solarfilm + Baader Green Filter

Point Grey IMX174

I was just trying different filters in single & combined with a Baader Green, haven't got a clue what 'combo' those were though 😀, my first FD where I didn't do a mosaic as well.

Sorry edit button seems kaput!!

I meant to say that I usually use AS!3 for all my solar processing but I found that AS!2 gives totally different results so that's the one I used for these. Into ImPPG for sharpening, PS for false colouring.

Interestingly on Gary Palmers solar imaging talk last Sunday he said he gets better results with AS2, don't think it can handle the ZWO ASI178 images though ?

For sure Dave, I noticed it a while ago, I knew 100% I had good data, put it through AS!3 & got a very blurry image, tried !2 & it was fine. Ive probably binned good data because of it

I've had problems with Asi3 too, took me there goes to get it to stack a full disk solar image from the 20th June. I could have easily discarded the data as it came out blurry twice. I use a zwo ASI 178mm.

IIRC (maybe not as getting old) I had to use AS3 as AS2 wouldn't work with the ZWO ASI178, needed more bits maybe.
