Johnnyaardvark Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 A large white light image of the sun from Sunday... Nikon D5000, best 13 of 333 frames. ED80 and 2x Barlow (hence large image scale!) Processed in PIPP, stacked in Registax 5.1 and wavelets, post processing in CS2 May try and improve on this and see if I can get Registax to use more than just the 13 images! Still quite happy with it as the focus is a little better than last time. The Sun in White Light 07/06/2015 by Steve Athey, on Flickr Click and download for a larger image if you like.

Tweedledee Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) That looks really detailed, well focused and very sharp Clicking only gives me a far less detailed image though. You must be well pleased with that Steve. Edited June 9, 2015 by Tweedledee Johnnyaardvark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Bino-viewer Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Thats a lovely sharp image Steve, very impressive Still lots of sunspot activity to see. You prompted me to check for the next Mercury solar transit tables. I seem to remember there was one due in the not too distant future. I've checked up, and there is one next year....May 9 2016. Visible from Europe during the afternoon. Another one on my astro bucket list. Johnnyaardvark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyaardvark Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks all. Yep. Quite pleased. :-) would love to have it sharper still though. A little heavy on the wavelets this one still maybe. What I would love to capture is some of the finer detail in the penumbra. Getting hints of it I think. Amazed by how many smaller spots there appear to be. Thats a lovely sharp image Steve, very impressive [emoji106] Still lots of sunspot activity to see.

Visible from Europe during the afternoon. Another one on my astro bucket list. A transit of any sort would be superb to capture. That is certainly something to look forward too! Best wishes.
