Catching Up

Post by SteveZ »

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!

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?

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?


Regards,
Steve
