Re: new computer / new process so new images !
Great job, Philippe, that's the proper detail level from such aperture. Though I must admit when I reprocessed some of my old WL images (from 180 mm at f/15, Solar Continuum, 3.75 μm pixel) with ImPPG, I had the impression that granules look slightly better (sharper) when using wavelets (in Regista...

Re: Quark Vs Solarscope
Good work Alexandra. I see the question asked all the time about how the Quark compares. Truly, it is an excellent HiRes device but fails miserably at the full disc. I saw Bill post on another forum mentioning how most Quark users have other dedicated Ha scopes they use for full disc imaging. I tota...

Re: Quark Quality Control Concerns
Hi Renims, Your images look like my initial images. I think your issue is that the Quark is not square to the optical axis i.e. you have focuser slop or the Quark is somehow tilted in its holder. This causes the bright areas on one side and Newton rings. Camera chips also come into play. If the chip...

Because of this I have been unable (too darn tired) to finish my complete writeup on the Quark and have definetly not been out imaging or observing lately. There have been some ve...

Re: Newton's rings (?) - Help please.................
Sometime I do not have to correct the image even though NR in the raw image are obvious, just stacking alone will remove them. Did you try to stack without any correction method i.e. use no flat at all? Try that first and see how it works. Let me know how it goes. NR in HiRes images with CMOS are pr...
