You've extracted a lot of infomation with the processing. DSLR imaging is a challenge - you might want to eventually move on to one of the industrial cameras from Point Grey, Imaging Source, Basler, etc. See: http://www.rkblog.rk.edu.pl/w/p/new-solar-system-imaging-cameras-2013/ Post Extras:       MG877 member Reged: 08/11/12 Re: Sun today ha [Re: BYoesle]       #5627001 - 01/16/13 08:54 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thank you for the comment and suggestion Bob , I will be in the market for a better camera soon but have to do more research first .
