First Light 2010 - PST80 13March

[NickH]

Sun is now just clearing my house from the garden, so can finally get back to imaging it. Seeing not perfect, very wobbly at times, and the process is a quick rough job, single alignment point, only 156 frames

Got a ton of these to process using the DMK21AU04.AS, still waiting on a license for my Lumenera cameras for Lucam recorder to not use jpeg mode (have 23000 jpegs of this region though!). Should have that later today

Anyway...first light for me this year..little taster for next week... ( to be honest...not having imaged the Sun in 6 months I was worrying :-))

(sweet spot...what sweet spot???)

The processed image is the DMK, ther raw screen grabs from the Skynyx2-0m whilst it was capturing at F25

The bank manager has told me I have got to stop looking at these solar images...

The more I see the more I want to have a go at it myself...

Despite the conditions being less than perfect that is one heck of a capture. Great stuff Nick keep them coming.

That was a laptop perched on a compost bin, and the PST80 chucked on a HEQ5 for 20 mins... Hoep to process the rest later today..and post up some better versions...

Wish the Lumenera was in full mode...that was really cooking today..

Quick rework on shot 1...multipoint (two) and mono, still only 160 frames

Excellent, Nick, well done on this year's first light!

[NickH]

Thanks guys

Here's the jpeg versions from the Lumenera (license now obtained) and a montage at F10 and F25 (F10 with the DMK)

Nice one Nick

I also managed first solar image of the year today

I was using the workmate instead of the compost bin ours hasn't got a flat surface or I would have been up and running about 10 mins earlier

Looks good Nick - very smooth for a low frame count! Now try Avistack...

Peter, if you don't spend your money your bank manager will only steal it in bonuses.

I must give it another go...last time I tried it it was not great...

Thanks Brian
