Today I was out between 12 noon and 13:00 BST capturing videos. I was shooting through thin cloud so conditions weren't the best, but I got this nice prominence on the NE limb. I shot a few videos with my Celestron 3x Barlow on the camera and after my initial processing I didn't think I would get anything worthwhile from the data, but I've just reprocessed the video of this prominence to see if I could make it better. There is a bit more detail visible than the previous image I shared that was taken with the 2x Barlow.

 

Taken with a Coronado PST and ASI120MC camera fitted with a 3x Barlow on an EQ5 Pro mount tracking at solar speed.

 

This image is the best 50% of a 2,000 frame video. Stacked in Autostakkert! 3, colour removed and processed in Lightroom and Fast Stone then false colour added back in using Photoshop CS2 (I've recorded my own action for this to try to get a bit of consistency)

A collage utilizing both H-alpha and CaK imaging of our Sun. Subframe positions is "artistic" and does not represent correct orientation compared to Sun - all images are however taken by me excluding the Apollo era (free) picture of Earth showing approximate scale. Pictures taken in southern Finland during summers of 2016 and 2017 as I haven't had time to image at all lately.

 

See www.flickr.com/photos/130947324@N08/46483974944/ for labels.

 

Recorded with BW ASI178mm camera, colors added in post production. H-alpha images colored to red and yellow and they are partially inverted to pop out surface details, protuberances and filaments. CaK is colored to blue to mimic imaging bandwidth for CaK.

 

H-alpha: 656.28 nm (deep red in reality) hydrogen line. Tunable wavelength. Exposure times around 2 ms.

CaK: About 8 nm wide bandpass at the Calcium II K-Line centered around 395 nm (ultraviolet). Exposure time of about 0.8 ms.

 

Prefilter: Baader D-ERF (with H-alpha), Baader AstroSolar film (with CaK)

Scope: TS Express 80/480 mm FPL53 APO

Filter: Daystar Quark or Baader CaK

Camera: ASI 178mm with 0.5x reducer

DIY Arduino based focuser motor control

Mount: Celestron AVX (equatorial mount), StarAdventurer

Typically stacked a best few percents of 5000 images to create each of the separate photos. Full disk H-alpha sun is a composite of several sub images. I roughly estimated that I collected about 180 000 frames and 775 GB of uncompressed AVI video as raw material. Final stacked image number should be close to 4000 in that composite.

Jupiter 28th August 2021(23:13 UT). Io and its shadow in transit. best 8,000 frames, merged with Winjupos. Captured using Firecapture V2.5.

Processed using Autostakkert V3.1.4 ,Registax V6 and Winjupos. Equipment used, Celestron C14 Edge HD, CGEPRO Mount, ZWO ASI224MC camera and Carl Zeiss 2X Barlow.

Reprocessed July 2022.

 

Jupiter reached opposition on August 19-20 so we imaged the planet on 23rd August close to the moment when it is at its biggest and brightest to us. Two of Jupiter's moons are visible in this shot, Io (closest to the planet) and Europa. We took numerous shots with different settings but this is the first of the batch to be processed.

This is a 2-panel mosaic that was from my 2nd outing with new mono camera. Captured Friday evening during the 94% waxing phase just prior to the recent Super Moon. I had to look twice at the frame rates during these captures at full 1920 x 1200 region of interest (ROI), and 128 Frames Per Second!

 

Top left of the field of view starts with the terminator over the Rocca family of craters. Slightly southeast from that point you see two overlapping craters named Sirsalis and Sirsalis-A. Sirsalis is 26 miles in diameter and 1.8 miles deep. Rimae Siralis seen extending towards the southwest for 240 miles and ending in crater Darwin. Crüger is just to the north of Darwin, lava-filled and smooth.

 

Near the bottom center of this field of view, the prominent crater that is right on the terminator is Inghirami Crater, 56.5 miles diameter and 1.8 miles deep. Just east of Inghirami is Shickard crater, and is designated as a great walled plain with a diameter of 128 miles (206km). Notice the lighter and darker patches across its floor.

 

As Andrew Planck has noted, "When you look at Schickard, you should immediately notice something unusual: Schickard’s floor has stripes! It is dark on both the north and south ends, but there is a wide central stripe of lighter material. You are looking at terrain that is made up of two different chemical compositions and is a result of a combination of lighter highland material that was blown in from the formation of the Mare Orientale basin and dark basaltic material (molten lava that welled up from underneath) on the northern and southern portions of Schickard."

Some lunar landscape with crater Langrenus in the center, through an 8inch newtonian 200p, and ASI120MC 3x barlow. Pretty good atmospheric conditions that night. For the post processing i gave the program Astra Image a trial, the wavelets are good, not necessarily better than registax6 but different and worth using if the registax wavelets aren't giving the results you are looking for :)
