4.06.2021 Massive double flare near AR12827 at 17.46[CET]

Post by Rusted »

I was late afternoon capturing when I spotted a pair of very bright, arched flares NE of AR12827 at 17.46[CET] 4.06.2021
The flares didn't last long and reduced to bright, white streams within a few minutes.
I have lots of captures around the time but these are the images I quickly processed.

Excellent. Do you have enough for an animation ? I hope so.
Best wishes,
David

Hello David,

Thanks.
I have loads of captures at short intervals over a couple of hours.
It is so rarely I get transparent seeing I just kept at it.[Before and after.]
Albeit they are thermally wobbly on the monitor.

Sadly I have yet to master animations.
I can batch process in Autostakkert and ImPPG.
ImPPG alignment is still defying me. :lol:
Beyond that point I am now trying to get PIPP to cooperate.

An impressive capture!
From viewing the video, I get the impression your seeing is quite reasonable.
Cheers.

Thank you for the views.

Thank you. :bow

The transparency of the seeing has been quite reasonable if a little unsteady.

Thank you all for your encouragement. :bow

I have lots of videos batch processed in Autostakkert and ImPPG into .TIFF files to make an animation.
After hours and hours of trying, PIPP still refuses to make me an animated video.

Nothing I try will show more than one frame. Despite PIPP telling me I have 23 frames in an AVI.
I marked several processed stills with time stamps in PhotoFiltre and keep seeing the same label after PIPP.

PIPP just keeps adding more and more copies. Making the single image videos longer without doing anything else.
The processed .TIFFS are very closely matching and were pretty well centered during capture.

Is there something PIPP doesn't like? Image size? File type? Some inexplicable variation?
I've watched lots of YT PIPP guides where even beginners made it look easy.
I've tried GIF animation in PIPP and that just produced a still image. :cry:

Have you tried following Stuart's tutorial in the reference library?
