Wow narayan, you're coming a long way fast! That's a magnificent improvement over your last couple.

Well done!

Is it settings or processing that is the main learning curve?

Wow Seeker!!

I'm VERY impressed.

This is spectacular stuff. You've got me seriously thinking about getting myself one of those PST's.

Great stuff.

Slow down Rob...you now if you get one us folk in Brisbane will probably never see the sun from the clouds for 6 months.

Excellant work Narayan....that solar flaring looks looks like a lot of fun.

The PSTis piggy backed on my CG5 mount so I'm tracking..but these are actually two single images combined-one 1/50 of a second (for the prominences) and one at 1/1200 of a second for the surface detail.Pretty Standard Operating procedure for PST work I gather.So the only reason for tracking is to make life easier, its not mandatory, esp when imaging with a digital camera. Think it would quite be a bit harder with a toUcam without tracking

great stuff I know how hard the PST can be to focus
