Hi this is my first attempt at a mosaic of the sun. Man what a pain to process.
79128
Note: Image has been updated since original post. I realised that my monitor was in dynamic mode and the black levels were wrong. As a result when viewed on other machines the background looked terrible. I have modified it to improve it a little.
The image was assembled from about 30 images (stacked from 30 avi's) including the separate exposures needed for the prominances around the outside.
It has taken me most of the day to get a reasonable image. There is way to much work trying to combinethe images, as it introduces all sorts of artifacts and probems where the frames overlap making it look like a badly made jigsaw puzzle.
Anyway I am reasonably happy with the image. Unfortuneately some of the frames were not as sharp as I would have liked and with a mosaic you have to take the good with the bad :rolleyes:.
The full size image is too big to post here. it is approximately 3500x3200 and a jpeg of it is 1.4mb in size (the tiff is 65 megabytes). You can view the larger Jpg image on my web site www.billd.net (http://www.billd.net/).
