Today was one of those days when everything just came together. After an inauspiciously cloudy start, I set up the rig around noon and as I captured the first few avi’s, I knew that amongst them, I may have something quite special.
After Registax 5 did its Align, Refine, Sort and Stack routines, I was left gasping, in awe, with what the seeing had allowed me to witness. This is far and above my best ever hi-res image of a sun spot. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the privilege of being in the right place, at the right time, with the seeing and equipment gods smiling down on me.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers
Dennis

Reason: New image from 15th January added in Msg #30
The resolution and details in that pic are quite amazing. It's funny to see the alternating sharp and blurry areas. Is this caused by the different turbulences on the surface of the sun?
Thank you for your nice words of appreciation for this dramatic image – they inspired me to squeeze even more from the data!
I decided that I would download, install and use AviStack as it appeared to offer the capability to process more alignment points which I though may render the details across the frame more evenly. Well, I was blown away with the capability of AviStack and the final results.
The use of 100’s of alignment points has led to more even and consistent processing of the faculae and has done more justice to the data.
