Thank you very much Petr, Peter and Stu!

Here are a short timelapse from the same session created from 102 recordings between 05:36 and 06:12UT. Each recording was 15 seconds long with a framerate of 100 (1500 frames) and 5 seconds delay between each recording.

The recordings where obtained using a using a TS-Optics 102mm f/11 ED, Lunt CaK 1200 module, Baader Q-Barlow 2.25x / 1.3x (at 2.25x) and Player One Mars-M camera mounted on a ZWO AM5 and guided with Hinode SolarGuider.

The 200 frames from each recording was stacked in AutoStakkert!3 before they were aligned, sharpened and contrast stretched in ImPPG.

The animation was created in PIPP at 15fps effectively compressing the 36 minutes of duration down to just 6 seconds.

Click on the timelapse to view in full size on AstroBin.
