A beautiful piece of work, Luca. You captured an incredible amount of fine structure at a very large image scale. Outstanding!

Excellent image of that prom, on par with the work of Harald Paleske.

Here is the whole picture: for some reason registax did not process the right side of the sequence. Not that there is much to see there, but this is the whole frame as it was intended to be.

Ciao all

seems turbulence was the problem...did you do multipointalignment on that prom too?

Yes Walter I tried to use multipoint even on this one, but I'm getting a little skeptic on the possibility of getting better results that way on prominences. Maybe it would be better to just choose a significant point and forget about multipoint on these events. It only seems a pity not to be able to do it when the field is so wide and there is so much you would like to show.

Ciao Walter

It seems to work for me. Not first time, every time: in this case I think the problem is that most of the structure in the right hand prom is linear & Registax sometimes doesn't get the alignment quite right in the direction along which the "lines" are running. I'd try a small alignment area centred on the bright "hook" at the base of this prom, the roughly triangular zone should register nicely.

Really nice image BTW. I'm slowly getting reconciled to not seeing the Sun until the spot has faded or rotated out of view ... it's happened with the last few
