A Guide to Solar Data Acquisition and Processing

[Hughsie]

In early June 2022 I was asked by my local astronomy club if I would like to give a presentation on my process for acquiring solar data.

Having never done anything like this before I decided to take up the challenge and put something together that not only included the acquisition of data but also what I do with it afterwards. Out of this came the video below which has been posted to the Orwell Astronomical (Ipswich) YouTube Channel which looks at acquiring H⍺ data with a Lunt 60mm DS THa/B1200CPT scope.

There the video has sat for 2 months now and I have finally decided to share it here. I would rather my images do the talking than me but if someone finds something useful here then I class that as job done.

All the best
