Sun(day)

Observation of the Sun this morning with good seeing conditions.

All images taken with TAL200K f/8.5. The sundisk was imaged with ASI2600MC and sunspots AR2993/94 with ASI290MM.

Software : Sharpcap, AS3!, IMPPG, CS4.

IMPPG Software and Sunspot AR2993/94

 

I'm using IMPPG software for processing my solar images. See also this link for more information. It executes Lucy-Richardson deconvolution with great results.
So, after stacking my SER 16bit movies, I'm opening the Tif files in IMPPG. The result is a sharper and brighter Tif (or PNG,..) file which is finally edited using CS4.
