  • Camera: ZWO ASI662MC
  • Scope: Lunt LS50THa B400PT H-alpha Solar Telescope
  • Mount: Sky-Watcher AZ-GTi
  • Software: Autostakkert, IMPPG, GIMP
  • Filters: None

Lucky imaging: best 75% frames from 1000 video frames.

A day of lovely weather and fascinating experimentation with the new ASI662. I refined the focussing, tested a 2x Barlow (no better than imaging without and cropping in post-processing) and tested a new freeware for solar processing called IMPPG. Results so far are excellent. I have a series of images to process too for a solar prominence animation.
