20190601 10-41UT Sun Ha Photobomb

The Sun imaged from London in Hydrogen Alpha on the 1st June 2019. Sometimes you get a happy accident...

The Solar disk is a stack of the best 50% of 4000 frames, processed in Registax and Autostakkert. A single frame of the 4000 frame video containing the image of the bird crossing in front of the Sun was extracted and sharpened with the motion blur around the bird removed using Stabilise mode in Topaz AI Sharpen. This was then blended with the stacked image using a darken layer in Photoshop CC.

The whole image was then rendered in false colour.
