Hi all,
thought I'd have a go at an "HDR" composite of the corona from the USA eclipse. I didn't get as many images as I would've liked due to my intervalometer suddenly stopping working at the critical moment but I may still have enough images to work with anyway
This is a stack of roughly 45 individual images (pretty much all of them) which I've compsoited using the "radial-blur" unsharp masking method. I did have a go at adding in the prominences as well but they looked terribly fake so I've left them out for the moment.
I've added a single frame of the prominences a little before 3rd contact as a standalone image in a bit higher resolution than before.
This is very new to me so hopefully I can improve on it with some repros as I start to understand what I'm doing
*Edit - I feel I've made a significant improvement with the HDR so I've uploaded a newer version (first image). I kept it simple this time around with the new version and used just 14 individual frames with exposures from 1/1000th of a sec up to 4 secs. I still have some artefacts but not as bad as before and I was able to bring out some earthshine and a few prominences.
