Images taken with Lunt LS60 or Lunt LS100 in single stack or double stack mode as indicated near the image. Using native focal length for full disk and 2/5x or 3x Barlow lens for prominence and surface detail.
Recording with ASI174. Typically 10% to 20% of 750 / 1000 / 2000 / 5000 frames stacked in AutoStakkert!3 wavelet sharpening in Registax 6 and finishing in Photoshop CS2.
Time-lapse videos with Python script and ffmpeg.
2023-11-24 19:49UT and 20:21UT. There were nice white light sunspots and that was an opportunity to use the white light imaging filter and compare with the H-Alpha line image. For the white light image the 102mm F8 APO with Baader solar foil filter was used and for the H-Alphs the Lunt LS60PT this time with the double stack module.
2023-10-28 18:54UT Today the prominence image didn't turn out right. Either the raw data was bad or the sharpening didn't wotrk right.
2023-10-28 19:18UT and 19:23UT Detail of the surface and a prominence.
2023-10-28 19:22UT to 20:53UT For the same prominence about 100 AVI recordings of 1000 frames were captured and processed into the below timelapse. Towards the end of the timelapse the seeing deteriorated.
2023-09-17 18:24UT Today there were nicer surface structures and less prominences.
2023-09-17 18:31UT to 19:20UT a collection of surface detail with the 3x Barlow and one prominence
2023-08-06 19:02UT Some nice activity today with good detail in several prominences.
2023-08-06 19:30UT to 19:59UT some promence detail.
2023-04-11 19:23UT We had some nice solar activity today. Capturing an overview of surface and prominences and then some details.
2023-04-11 20:14UT Detail of sunspot group with the 2.5x Barlow.
2023-04-11 19:41UT, 20:00UT, 20:11UT detail of prominences with the 2.5x Barlow
2023-02-19 19:26UT Again some nice activity today. At first again a full disk composite with the prominences.
2023-02-19 19:38UT and 19:39UT. Two active regions with high contrast bright spots. There might be some flare activity.

2023-02-19 19:44UT and 19:46UT. Some experimentation with low gamma setting during the exposure to bring out surface detail and prominences at the same time. Gradation curves were enhanced in processing.

2023-01-26 19:22UT. The first observation of the 2023 campaign. There was a lot of activity as the Sun progresses to another maximum in the 11year cycle.
2023-01-26 19:536T & 19:39UT The seeing contitions were not really good but for some active regions I was using the 2.5x Barlow lens for some good surface and prominence details.
