Solar imaging

 A late afternoon solar observing session turned to an early evening imaging session with white light and hydrogen alpha data taken using a Altair 60EDF with a Herschel Wedge and a PST; both imaged with a Player One Apollo-M Mini camera using a x2 Barlow lens. The scopes were mounted on an AstroTrac running in solar tracking mode with data captured using AstroDMx Capture. 15% of frames were stacked using AutoStakkert!4 with wavelet processing done in Registax and post processing completed in Pixinsight and Adobe Photoshop 2024. The Ha image comprised an 8,000 frame SER, the mono white light image 5,000 frames and the colour white light SER 10,000 frames.
