First prom image

[Sunshine]

With the wrong camera, no doubt wrong software, wrong editor, wrong person for solar imaging 😂 and a whole lot of button mashing I have managed a solar abomination!.

Make no mistake, I am aware I was using the wrong equipment (Neximage5) but I just had try something, exposing for this flare was a nightmare and ultimately I was not able to 

do it through Icap but by literally moving the sun so the flare was closer to the edge and the camera would adjust exposure. Then I hand tracked with one hand on the slomo knob

and the other pushed the button to record, If Mr. Bean took up imaging I may have actually learned a thing or two watching him. Why is it in black and white? I have no idea, how do

I apply color? no idea, will I get a proper mono camera? YES! this makes me realize just how talented solar imagers like @Nigella Bryant are, she can do this while sleeping but I will get there!!

You're doing well Sunshine, my first image's are nothing like they are today, practice, experiment, getting the best out of software, etc, etc. ImPPG is a great piece of free software especially for solar.

Nice capture! I started out with a little LS35THa, which people say isn't designed for imaging, but I went ahead and it worked. Your set-up clearly worked

That's an excellent image with lots of detail.

Keep going! Anybody who can pull off such an image, against all the odds, deserves praise and even greater success.

I had a bit of a play to give you some colour, like you wanted: I am afraid I lost some of your original detail.
