Re: Sunshine!!!!!

Wow - fantastic detail and activity in your movies.

Maybe you should get one of those hydraulic cranes that car mechanics use to hoist engines around....at least until your roadie is back on the job. :D

Re: Noise, Firecapture and imaging questions

Alexandra, would processing in PIPP help? In addition to accepting what the SER header indicates, PIPP has a 15 bit input option.

Re: Boxing Day Aurora 26th December

Lovely pictures Mark. Aurora hunting seems a good option when the sun isn't cooperative. Whereabouts in Iceland?

Re: Comparison between G band and K-line filters

Great images, Christian. I take it that the G-band is picking up both calcium and iron lines, or is it just calcium in the 2nm bandpass?

Spectacular images, Eric. If I might ask - what is the difference between the one with "spline2" in the label and the previous?

Re: First try at a big mosaic and an animation

Really nice animation and disks Patrick.

For mosaics, I've had some luck with Autostitch

which comes in Mac and Windows versions.

Re: Hello - new solar maniac here

Stu and Alfred, thanks very much. Tomorrow's forecast calls for morning sun and freezing temperatures, possibly an opportunity for some h-alpha captures.

Hello - new solar maniac here

Hi all, My first post to this amazing forum. I've been engaging in extensive lurkage over the last few months, hoovering up as much knowledge as I can.
