UPDATED - more refined!!very very rough diamond in this lot - prom action 17 Jan 2014

[h0ughy]

Whatever you do dont open this video (http://youtu.be/2H06wc4aezU) - of course we all know you will:rofl::P - - it covers roughly 2.5 hours of imaging so far

I apologise for the roughness of this video:help:. Its only 200 frames of the 298 I took on the 17th. There is a new massive active system now rounding the sun – took some shots of that very late this afternoon but I am still processing all the data from Friday. When I eventually hand crop and save this I will redo the video, until then it certainly looks promising. My poor lappy is grunting under the strain – Autostakert is has been processing the 298 600 frame grabs for over 24 hours…its 2/3rds done. I also took data very late this afternoon after returning from Sydney picking up my Daughter.

Most excellent.

thanks Jarrod - now to learn to process and crop, colour and redo the animation:question::thanx:

[Solar]

That will come up trumps David when your finished.

[h0ughy]

i downloaded that article on how to make a solar timelapse - i have never used AVIstack or really registax5. a lot of learning to to or do the whole lot manually?

[Solar]

You have plenty of disc detail there, Photoshop will do it in 40 seconds, rock solid. see here -

Good stuff, H0ughy!

[h0ughy]

well you seen the video - its all over the shop so how did you do it in PS?

[h0ughy]

thanks Rick

Once you have your files processed put the ones you want in a folder.
You might need to lose those first couple, don't know you can try them though.
In PS CS6 go to File - Scripts - Load files into stack,
In the opened box, after you select the files, make sure you select Attempt to Automatically Align Source Images.
Hit OK.
You can also have all the files open PS and batch sharpen and crop them with any other processing you want all at once as an Action.

only have ps5 at home i have PS6 at work but i managed to do this. will try the alignment soon

a colour version - yet to be aligned (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LavzqoVeoE&feature=youtu.be)

[h0ughy]

ok have done the alignment process and have cropped the image - how do i make the animation in CS6

[Bassnut]

Excellent Dave !, it's very well produced and presented. It's not oft I see videos of proms, quite a dramatic effect :thumbsup:

[John Hothersall]

This is fantastic and must have been hard work. Quite hypnotising.

John.

Very nice Dave I still have the avis from the same event. I only did a collage at least you attempted the real Mckoy. It really was a great event.

[RB]

That's awesome buddy.
Should've heard the kids when I showed the family.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

there are a few little things to fix up but this is essentially 1000% better
