My first h-alpha animation
Hello friends!
Last Saturday I´ve tried to do my first time lapse (animation) of the Sun. Unfortunately it was little cloudy and the seeing was not so good. But it was an incredible experience. I hope you like it! .
Setup:
APM LZOS 152 + Solar Spectrum 0,3A RG + Baader TZ3 + Basler acA 1920-155
Softwares:
AS!2 (staking) + PixInsight (wallets + color) + Affinity Photo (frames alignment + details) + PhotoScape (GIFF)

I see material going left and right, like a whirlwind.

Re: My first h-alpha animation
Thank you Ronnie. The actions of the prom are quite interesting and well-captured - thanks.
I've still got the Friday animation of the flare to complete...

Well done!
I suggest shorter time intervals next time (30 s - 1 minute) for smoother motion.

Re: My first h-alpha animation
Very interesting motion there, Ronnie, not only in the prom, but also in the spicule field. Nicely captured.
Just for information, I capture 10s bursts every 30s for my animations, which seems to work.

Re: My first h-alpha animation
Very good. Like the movement of the spicules on the surface. They look like grass tufts
