Solar Details: Friday 1st April 2022

A forecast sunny few hours this morning - first solar action since July last year!

A bit rusty on acquisition, processing, etc - don't think the seeing was as good as hoped (think Charl thought the same) and so far, they aren't my best work.... still going through the data though - hope to find that super seeing!
But something to do when off with the dreaded Covid (the wife a bit worse than me, although I think I'm a day or so behind her...)

Basler '174' > Quark Chromo > TEC140 > Baader D-ERF.  AS!2 > ImPPG > Ps. Captured in Basler's Pylon on Mac.

3000 images captured per set, Mono 12P (max 110fps - although some sets were down to 60fps), Flat frame (bag) calibrated - although I can still detect some Newton Rings going on - a tad annoying, but hey-ho, no darks. Guided by an Hinode Solar Guider.

Will revisit this thread to post the rest later... unless I head off to bed early… so will have something to do for the ole birthday tomorrow!

Clear skies,

Damian

As usual (for reference), the closest (by UT/GMT time) GONG image.

Thanks Pete...

A fine looking disc and close up views, very nicely captured.

I did edit my original post though after your reply to make it more obvious that the full disk image was not my own. I don't have a set-up to manage that with a Quark!

...and after responding to Yawning Angel's mosaic thread to say I didn't have much luck with stitching my panoramic goes together...

...I had another go with more data from the 1st and this time Photoshop obliged!

AR2978 / 2981 (and surrounding area), 8.47-8.54 BST, Best 250 - 3 pane

No worries Pete, it  made me add a note to that image that I should have done the first time round!

have you tried Microsoft Ice for stitching

No, I’m Mac based - of course I could try it under some sort of emulation or dual boot, etc…. But really Photoshop should be able to cope with such things!?
