Re: Early Saturday Calcium 16th March
Well that’s a revelation! In summer with a clear sky and no jet stream collecting data for a timelapse animation is my favourite thing to do. As we know, as the sun rises early morning it gets brighter so I have been sitting and manually knocking the gain back until it settles. This means I can set...

I think for FD Ha at this scale dynamics in the camera is not a major factor.

Re: Early Saturday Calcium 16th March
Thanks everyone for the kind comments! Auto gain?! That would be a help for early morning time lapse recordings in summer. How do you activate it? Nic, you can find autogain by clicking 'more' on the control tab in FC. I normally go 92% for CaK and Ha, slightly less for WL https://live.staticflickr....

Re: Saturday Catch Up 9th March
Could you please explain why on-band CaK results in soft images? Hi Kevin. Maybe I should have widened the statement to say 'with double (or triple) stacked CaK filters in long focal ratio beams' - This is because you are reducing the amount of out of band contiunnum or parasitic leakage either sid...

I would use the 178, you get a larger solar disk with a shorter exposure time.

I woke this morning to clear skies at dawn, but the weather forecast had weather racing in from the west, fast.

Thanks for the update James, a quiet sun! Clear skies here this morning at dawn (thanks to the alarm cat for waking me early!), cloud is coming in fast though looking at the satellite image, will be a race to image before things cloud out. Happy Saturday!

These are impressive Oleg!
The only thing I would say is I think you will get away with a lot less frames for the capture file for the (partial) CaK disk. Try 1000 and stack 10%, will speed up the work flow.
