Finally I had made my full disk Solar image from data recorded a week ago!
The most interesting feature is at the bottom of an image - a spiraling plasma filament that looks like a tether of a baloon :)
WARNING! Sun is dangerous, use proper filters for observing and imaging!
Aquisition time: JD 2456640.821701 (14.12.2013 11:43:15 MSK)
Image orientation: scrambled.
Equipment:
Canon EOS 60D (unmodded) coupled to Coronado PST via Baader Planetarium Hyperion Zoom 8-24 mm Mark III click-stop system eyepiece and Baader Planetarium M43-to-T2 conversion ring and mounted on photo-tripod.
Aperture 40 mm
Native focal length 400 mm
Projection zoom setting 20 mm.
Effective focal length ~800 mm
Tv = 1/20 seconds
Av (effective) = ~f/20
ISO 800
Exposures: 13
Processing: images were converted to monochrome (this is a key step) and exported as 8-bit .TIFFs. Images were assembled into stack in ImageJ and saved and resulting dataset was dissected into 10 overlapping panels. Panels were saved as .AVIs and were processed in Autostakkert!2.
Resulting images were stitched back in Microsoft ICE and stitched image was subjected to Richardson-Lucy deconvolution in AstraImage 3.0 (Gaussian type PSF, size 2 units, 7 iterations).
On this step I decided to do something new, and since stacked image is to all extents and purposes an(sic?) HDR image and since my solar images lack contrast I tonemapped it in Luminance HDR (formerly known as QTPFSGUI) using Mantiuk'06 tonemaping operator (contrast factor 0,291; saturation factor 0,8; detail factor 1; pregamma 0,515). This step causes the second loss of bit depth, but it already doesn't matter.
High-pass filtering and coloration were made in Photoshop.
Note: I'm starting to feel the first symptoms of "Solar aperture fever".
"Side Panel from the Coffin of Amenemope", This wonderfully preserved panel of painted gesso on sycamore fig, depicts the mourning and preparation for burial of the priest Amenemope as well as his wife, Taditkhonsu. Discovered to be from the late 21st dynasty (approx. 976-889 BC) of Egypt in the ancient city of Thebes. This small fragment of an otherwise impressive coffin stands overall 60.4 x 41 x 6 cm (23 3/4 x 16 1/8 x 2 3/8 in.). This piece was purchased by The Cleveland Museum of Art through The Charles W. Harkness Endowment Fund in 1921.https://clevelandart.org/art/1921.1029

Side view of the Horse Shoe Fall, the biggest of the 3 Niagara Falls. An impressive 2.8mio. l of water go over the Niagara falls every second. A side effect of this is erosion, which made the Niagara Falls go back ~3m every year until they were strengthened. Now the average erosion is of 3cm per year.
The best view of the falls is from the Canadian side.

A wheel base from here to China with a fork rake to match. Low trail, handles quick but smooth and to watch the fork blades bounce over rough surfaces puts a smile on your face. This is what they are supposed to do. Phil Wood flip flop: 69" fixed and 69"/63" White double freewheel. Sturmey hub brake.
I do like to get a side shot too of course, lower heels than I usually use, more practical for housework,.
Here you get a glimpse of the entire MOC from the side. The temple and the outside, which has 3 large trees and two small. Kinda of a mini battle-front between the Resistance and the First Order.
There's a delightful sketch of this house in Wainwright's book on the Outlying Fells. It looked a little tidier in AW's day though he could, of course, choose to leave out anything he didn't like. Also the trees have grown in fifty years.
Thankfully, this beautiful old place is stlll very much lived in.
The lavender at my side yard have started to bloom lately.

Damoxenos of Syracuse and Kreugas of Epidamnos
In Greek boxing the only legitimate target was the head. If opponents were too evenly matched and a bout seemed like it would never end, judges would order the boxers to strike a single blow to the head in turns until someone gave up or could not continue. This happened at the Nemean Games circa 400 BC. Kreugas dealt his blow with his fist, as per the rules. Damoxenos instead thrust his fingertips beneath Kreugas’ ribcage and tore out his intestines. Kreugas was declared posthumous victor, not because Damoxenos had not aimed for his head, but that his four fingertips counting as four separate blows. A statue was erected of Kreugas at Argos.
