Hello All,
Doing a bit of catching up from a few imaging sessions over the last several days. My image time was short today before the clouds rolled. I would appreciate any and all feedback on how to improve my captures.Thanks for looking!

Re: Catching Up
Well done. I especially like the full disc prom image, and the non-inverted image.
Looks like you used a Mallincam for recording. I don’t know much about the camera, but the pixel size looks close to what you want for your set up. How many frames per second is the camera capable of?

Re: Catching Up
Hi David,
Thanks for your comments! I get about 21.7fps at full resolution (16.4M) when using the Mallincam software. I can not get anything close to that rate with FireCapture or SharpCap with DS16M. I collect 30 second SER's and get a total frame count of ~600. With a 2.5x PowerMate, I can image the full solar disk, filling up the sensor. With the Lunt 80 and 2.5x PM, the 3.8um pixel yields a sampling of 0.56 arcseconds/pixel. Do those numbers sound about right for Solar imaging?
