More solar - 31st July

Hmmmmm well I'm starting to enjoy this kind of imaging. Latest trend is capture at 10:15 AM as the seeing seems to be not too bad at that hour.

Just experimenting so far with camera settings. I'm using zero gain/19 gamma. 60FPS & a very fast exposure. I've read that these sunspot regions change quickly so I'm only capturing 30 sec. AVI's & stacking the best of 400.

Shooting @ 60FPS with the Imaging Source DMK, I'm getting the known artifact common with shooting at this frame rate but I've noticed it only happens on the limb. Stay clear of the limb or put up with the artifact. The other alternative would be to go 30FPS on the limb.

Cheers for looking.
