White light telescope: TS 102mm Individual f/11 refractor
White light filters: Baader Solar Continuum used together with a Baader Herschel Wedge.
Hydrogen Alpha: Lunt 60mm Solartelescope + Lunt 50mm front filter for double stack.
Extra equipment: 0.5x focal reducer, 1.5x barlow, 2x Ultima Barlow, 2.5x Powermate
Camera: DMK31 USB Mono
It was very nice weather this day. Hottest day of the year so far. The sun showed lots of activity which resulted in 78gb AVI data.
First the white light images:
I tried to do HDR with the stacked images. I took them into registax to do wavelets and saved 3 different images with various gamma settings.
These were then used to make a HDR image in Photomatix.

1.5x barlow


2x barlow



Seeing was far too poor for white light so i went over to hydrogen alpha. These were captured with double stack configuration.

0.5x focal reducer


Alternative of the above.


0.5x focal reducer - HDR from 7 different exposures.


Alternative of the above.



1.5x barlow - Mosaic of 9 images.

Unfortunatley i ran out of harddisk space while i was capturing this one.
