Hi Dylan, Just a small note: for fine-tuning the L-R deconvolution sigma it's best to select a small image fragment (with some fine details) first. Then, if using the GPU mode, the changes as you move the slider will be visible in real time (e.g., you can see when the filaments/wisps are becoming too bloated).

Nice job on that sun image Dylan. I just got a glass solar filter for my Meade LX850 14 inch F/8 ACR SCT and I just used it, the solar filter, yesterday morning, for the first time. It was amazing looking at the sun spots and the other surface areas. I wasn't able to see any prominences' because it was a little cloudy and a pretty hazy morning down here in central Florida. Then the clouds really moved in for the day so I shut her down. This was all after I was Moon gazing for a few hours before the Sun came up. So, all in all it was a great session for me. I'm still learning how to use everything because I just got this rig only a few weeks ago. The weather here is horrendous this time of year. It's the rainy season now, but it's coming to an end soon. Come the end of October and the beginning of November starts the best times to be using my telescope here. Anyway, thank you for the video and the tutorial on how you process your images to come up with the final, outstanding image of the sun and it's parts. Great job!!! Sincerely, Rich Williams Astor, Florida 32102

With imppg, you should also play with unsharp mask, which I didn't see you do. As a first step, set the Sigma for the Unsharp masking to the same Sigma for the L-C deconvolution (generally 1.5 to 2.5 works for me). Then play with the Amount slider on the Unsharp masking. By the way, make sure the output format for imppg is a file format (and bit depth) that is best for you. I always use 16-bit Tiff.

Solar is one of my favorite objects to photograph but I usually just see me on the computer screen. I've moved to doing the computer work inside after trying towels, boxes, hiding in cars, and stuff like that. My neighbors probably think I'm nuts. I use a 115mm refractor with a Chromosphere quark for solar. It gets up close and personal with the sun, but sometimes I want that full disk view. The problem with the quark is if it's hot outside it drifts off band because of the heat.

Budget solar viewing and photography…. You need a Mylar solar blanket. Cut 3 squares out bigger than your scope diameter . Now you can rubber band them over your objective or pop off your dew guard and put the squares over the lens while replacing the cover and stretching your Mylar tight. Now you can safely view the sun visual or with your camera on any scope. Cost about 1.25$

does it matter? once you're in focus you're in focus.

great tutorial, can we expect this type of image with just some baader film? or do we need a solar scope?

You’d get close with film and a solar continuum filter but no, you won’t get the cool flare details without a proper ha scope.

You will NOT get this with regular white light filters. You'll see spots, faculae, some granulation if seeing is excellent but to flares no solar prominence.

I am really missing you, Dylan, just hope that you will find an appropriate solution for the issues whatever they are. I hope those are not health issues. We are just patiently waiting for your return. Otherwise we will go to Byron Bay on foot (from Siberia, LOL).

Taking a photo of the sun is easy, composing a 5 hour timelapse of prominenses or other activity is not due to changes in tube temperature and the atmosphere affecting brightness and contrast over time resulting in over an enormous amount of sub frames to process.

@@DylanODonnell I have the B600 as well. I finally got a solar tilt adapter because I had issues with newtons rings. I can't quite fit the full solar disk in frame but I'm using an asi120 mono cam. I appreciate your reply. I can just get a slightly bigger sensor planetary cam and get the full disc! I wasn't sure if I would get a bigger sensor and then find out the B600 image circle was still too small to fit the whole disk in it lol. Do you know of a sweet little reducer that works with these setups?

You can, but DSLR capture software can lack some features needed for truly high speed video.
