Thanks
Magnus

Thank you, very helpful blog.
Are you going to post your solar images with the SF60 filters ? I was thinking of doing the same !

Nice choice.

Magnus

Thanks Andrew. So much to monitor, too little time !!
Thanks for those links as well.

Magnus.

Hi Mark, Great images. For me CaK was always a bit boring but seeing this images is changing my mind :-) saludos Rainer Hi All, Is it just me ? I am finding no urge to setup and image and process solar images !! The weather does not help (lots of wind, rain and cloud !!), and i suppose it is work i...

Hi solarchat,

Can I change/renew my user name at all ? I wish to change to a different username. Not sure how to do this. Please can you advise ?

Thank you.

Magnus

Hi,
Interesting discussion here. Not sure what business Astrograph is regarding etalons.
I am thinking of selling my house and use up all my savings to get a really high quality etalon, much better than SE or PE. I am sure I will be satisfied with this arrangement.

Magnus

[/quote] Sure, you have my permission to practise with my image, please feel free to post your results too! I am still learning myself too, so I am always happy to see good tips for processing. I cannot comment about Hinode for much, as this was my first test run. It was a partially cloudy/haze day,...

Nice work Michael.
I wonder when is the atmosphere ever stable ???

Magnus

Super work Mark!
May I ask, how do you get the sun to be so big on this webpage ? Do you zoom in or do you double the size of your disc in Photoshop ?

Thanks

Magnus

Hi Petrus,

Congratulations on a super CaK image of a prom and disc !

Magnus

Dear Petrus,

I am jealous of all your super solar equipment and cameras.
Do you mind if I downloaded your image of the prom/CaK disc here and try and process it to adjust colours, I am practising my image processing skills.

Many thanks.

Magnus

Hi Daniele,
I did not know about the bookmark function ! After all this time ! Thanks for alerting us !

Magnus

Wow, nice capture !

What is the Hinode solar guider ? How accurate is the tracking to the sun. Do you need to adjust the mount after 1 hour ??

Thanks

Magnus

Brilliant work Banjo!

Wow!
How long did you image from 1st to last frame, what frames per second is your video?

Magnus

That's a lovely composite, I really like it :hamster: it is the kind of photo like this which find their way to the papers and suddenly it is the headline ' Sun the largest this century' :lol: It is all good fun :bow Alexandra Thanks Alexandra. Its a trick using Luminosity masking, and also the Lay...

Thanks Rainer,
Very useful program!

Hi Rainer, Superb panorama. I think this Panoramaker 3 Pro is one of the best. I heard PTGui is very good for Milky way panoramas. May have to choose if you are going to do them regularly. Have a nice day. Magnus Hi Magnus, You mentioned now Panoramaker 3 Pro ? and I made a search and that one os f...

Hi All, I tried taking the sun in white light with a dSLR (Canon 7D) and 300 mm lens but try as I may I could not get much detail. After a few more hours I managed to wait until the sun moved to a higher position for my telescope, 90mm F10 achromat to take with my ASI 174mm camera. Here is a composi...

Hi Paul,

Did you use a 1.25 inch focal reducer ? I think I got reasonable results with a 0.5x focal reducer Antares 2 inch version.

Not sure what you are trying to achieve with a focal reducer in this instance.

Magnus

So much detail, especially the proms. Good work again, Rainer

Regards,
Magnus

Dear Rainer,

I forgot to inform you, that I think it is easier to use a prime lens e.g. 20mm or 24mm Prime lens for panoromas. Not sure if a zoom lens is harder to get a nodal point (NPP) and do panoramas. But I think you knew that anyway.

I did come across a good panorama program, better than Photoshop.

And that is ?

It is PanoramaStudio 3 Pro

I have not bought it yet, tried it on a trial, amazing quality !!

Regards,

Magnus
