Thanks John and Mike.
John: I record 3000 frames with the DMK31AF04AS and then set the stack limit to 300 frames in AutoStakkert. Previously I had been imaging between 9:30am and 11:30am which tended to deliver the better seeing, although I have managed to record good data in the early afternoon too.
For this shot, the Sun cleared the trees at around 8:30am so I was able to start recoding a little earlier.
Maybe twice a year, excellent seeing coincides with suitable weather and free time where the Solar Granules are quite stable and plainly visible on-screen during the recording but on the other occasions, I usually eyeball the screen and pause the recording during moments of poorer seeing and then re-start when it settles down a bit more. I try not to go beyond 10 minutes with the pause technique as that is the approximate lifespan of a typical granule.
Cheers
Dennis
