I checked back on my Astrobin page and I really haven't done any DSO imaging since 2018! So I'm a bit rusty at processing but some things are coming back now that I have the Seestar to play with! So I captured two images last night, M97 The Owl Nebula and Markarians Chain a group of galaxies. Each h...

I caught 1 hour and 45 minutes of the huge prom on the SW limb this morning before clouds became a nuisance. Oh, and a jetliner did a photobomb in the middle of it, one of the better transits I've caught! The transit gives a good idea of the seeing this morning. Not too bad but not perfect either. I...

That’s great Petrus! While playing with it see what you think about the noise produced in the full resolution images. I think I need to tweak the settings a bit more.

Great sequence images

Way too many clouds for an animation this morning so went with the various wavelengths for this animation. Link on Astrobin also has the individual disks. Love that really thick filament in the NE.

Thanks Dennis! I think I lucked into decent tuning and then Solar ToolBox did the rest.

Here is a screenshot of the settings. Of course you may need to play with Black Point and White Point depending upon your capture settings, etc.

I immediately noticed the improvement in the Sol'Ex image, looks like you got that figured out nicely!

rigel123

Thanks Rainer, Mark, Petr and Maurits! Closer examination of the full resolution of the disk I still have some tweaking of the settings in the Solar Toolbox to keep it from getting so noisy.

rigel123

That prom is beautiful and that lower “skull” is really freaky looking! That tripod is gorgeous!

rigel123

I noticed that filament at 4:00 before reading your description, great disk!

That prom on the SW limb looks great in full resolution, great session!

Excellent disks Arne, I may be capturing disks this morning between clouds.

rigel123

Thanks Rainer, Mark, Petrus and Maurits! Petrus, I’ll try to post a screenshot of the settings and maybe I can somehow try to send you the file it saves when you save the action icon for you to try.
