Hi Everyone,
Just finished processing my first ever image of the sun.
Just a small eclipse from Brisbane, but I did get lucky with the clouds.
This was also my first time imaging with my recently accquired C8. Overall I'm very happy with the results. It seems I've even captured a bit of surface detail (not sure what these are called...
) in the lower left.
I'd love to get some feedback. Is the grain from my camera (noise) or is it detail of the sun?
Details: C8 (masked to 130mm) with f6.3 focal reducer, on Vixen SP mount, Canon 20D (not modded), 1/500sec @ ISO200 with Baader Solar film. Stack of 3 exposures (which helped bring out detail
).
