Davey-T Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Busy old Sun today, first time it's shown it's face in weeks, got all set up and the cig' plug on the camera flew to bits firing springs etc all over the garden and they promptly disappeared of course, had a brief look for them then went in search of another plug to cannibalize for bits, found three plugs all with different size fittings managed to force one together after wasting an hour and started imaging then camera kept disconnecting, no idea why, turned it off and on a few times then it seemed to be happy so have manage a few vid's of sunspots and just going to try for some proms fingers crossed 🤞 Dave Will add some pic's later, hopefully.

Pete Presland Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Sounds like typical astro to me 🙂 chaos interrupted by odd moments of calm, some decent images though to end with. Lovely to finally get some Sun again though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athornett Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I love the way the prominence has come out with red background and black sun. Need to give that a go myself. What are your settings in Photoshop to get those colours? Amdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then selection inverted to colour. I just drag the red slider to the left and blue and green to the right in levels until it's a colour I'm happy with.
