Had a chance to do some solar imaging yesterday. There was some high level thin cloud, but it didn't degrade the imaging too much.
The following mosaic is assembled from 9 images, each of which is a stack of about 700 from an AVI of 2000 frames. The 'scope is a 150 mm SCT on Alt-Az mount, with f/5 focal reducer, Baader solar filter, and a DMK21 mono camera.
Used a spreadsheet to calculate the amount of field rotation to apply to each tile, assembled with Gimp and colour added for appearance.
Really difficult to deal with matching the brightnes of each tile, and still thinking about how to remove the visible seams without losing detail.
Anyhow, thanks for looking.
