That said, yes you can get a sense of solar rotation and activity by bagging frames for the entire day. Particularly active proms and flares can change in a matter of minutes...but require high magnification and excellent seeing.
Would be amazing to see, but I'd imagine a hell of lot of effort and data processing to pull off?

I have another (probably dumb) question. Would it make sense or improve things (given unlimited dollars) to capture this with a high res, high frame rate, high dynamic range cinema camera...like Red Epic? 5K 120fps seems tailor made for this?
