Sunspots 12th August
This was the best I could get today with the sunspots.

I am experimenting with settings Asi suggested for the Toucam. This is the first image I have taken with the Frame rate permanently set at 5fps.

ED80, tracked on EQ1, Solar Filter, Toucam 840k Pro II, 180 frames stacked in Registax, blue taken out in PaintShop Pro.

Nice capture and processing there Ken - I was out there around 10:30am but the seeing was very variable in my suburb in Brisbane, so I'm not too sure of what I've got lurking in my avi's.

Cheers

Dennis

thanks guys,

Should be good to capture as it moves around the surface a bit more! (unless they dissapate!)
