August 3 Sunnage

[sheeny]

Here's a bit of sunnage captured today, while recouperating from a nasty little bug I was afflicted with last night...

This is first light for the Baader filter on the ED80.:thumbsup: Exposures were just 1/2500s so that should stop the ISS in front of the sun when I get the opportunity of another transit!;)

I'd personally make the disk a little lighter, but as mentioned elsewhere it's dealer's choice.

In any event.... A very tidy result.:thumbsup:

Thanks JJJ!

Yeah, I know what you mean Peter. I've had to adjust my captures and processing a little bit as the sun has got more active. Normally I would make the disk (in the Ha shot) brighter, but I've found I've had to shorten my exposure times to prevent clipping the brightest parts of the active regions. To avoid losing data I use curves to bump up the brightness of the disk, but the end result is still a bit darker than how I used to process them.
