Hi Everyone,

 

I've been playing around with my CaK rig (Borg 71FL w/ Lunt CaK module and ASI533MM Pro plus ASIair Plus).  Had a quick session mid-morning to try imaging the sun.  Here's a composite I made using ASIair to capture (~approx 40 secs each) and stack both the surface and proms.  Used GIMP to merge the two images together.

 

As suggested by another user here, I'm tried doing this at full 71mm (F5.6), I turned the exposure to 0.5 milliseconds and turned up the gain to about 15.

Of course feedback is welcome.

That's a very nice result with a looping prom to boot :waytogo:
