A Player One Apollo-M Mini camera fitted with a x2 Barlow lens was inserted into a Coronado PST mounted on a geared head attached to an AstroTrac running in solar tracking mode which was also mounted on a geared head attached to a mini Pier. Several SER files were then captured using AsgtroDMx Capture as the Sun passed between clouds, with only a portion of each file capturing frames unobstructed by clouds. The best frames from each SER file were then collated with 20% of the frames stacked separately in Autostakkert!4, wavelet processed in Registax and further processed in Pixinsight. The processed images were then blended together in Adobe Photoshop 2024 to produce a false colour image of the whole solar disc image comprising some 2,341 frames showing both surface detail and solar prominences. A further SER file of some 2,000 frames was then stacked in Autostakkert!4 using 15% of the frames, wavelet processed in Registax and the mono Tiff file then finished off in Adobe Photoshop 2024, where sections of interest were divided into three separate mono images.
