Really nice captures Paul, thanks for sharing!

Came out well JAPP!

This is a great booty of images Marty!

Lovely shots Simon!

Nice shot! I hope your actual seeing is what meteoblue says so you can utilise the large aperture regularly.

Very interesting, very positive!

Thanks James, nice report! Hoping for some clear skies here this weekend.

A good lunchtime disk!

That looks good Frank!

Nice shot Ale!

They're good results given you're at the start of your imaging journey James.

The only thing I would suggest at this stage is take a step back, just concentrate on monochrome images and use ImPPG for this. When you have sharpening, gamma and levels mastered I would concentrate on colour then.

Top shot JAPP! I have a similar issue at the moment with my IMX174 sensor with crud I cannot shift...

Which SMiii are you using Jason?

Top shots Rainer! Looking forward to some clear skies this weekend hopefully!

Seems to me you have raised the black point to increase contrast - you can see how it 'eats into' the limb, however you've not dragged the white point in - Pedros plage jump out because the levels are clipped (or very close to clipping).

Mark, what are you using instead of PIPP to prepare your videos for AS! ?

Nothing. I just run them straight through As3.

A timely and great shot Leo! Glad your solar season has returned, looking forward to seeing more of your images

Nice record of the event Stu. I look forward to the one that gives us some visuals here in the UK this solar cycle.

Thanks Jochen!

Good looking disks and close ups Pedro!

Looks good Maurits!

Looks like you're having fun with the new scope Dave. Did the DS arrive?

Nice report and capture James. At work, cloud and grey for me today, hoping for clear skies at the weekend - getting nearer now!

Hi there.

Like Alexandra says, sounds like there is a limit set somewhere. No idea about PIPP, don't use it. I only ever capture in 8 bit avi, I see no benefit at all in capturing in 16 bit.
