the person believes earth is flat, no proving or disproving, they will not find out until they do it for themselves...these are very specific types of ppl that know very little, and they do not study things for themselves, they don't know cameras/telescopes etc...flat earthers will keep flat earthing...can't debunk if they don't understand.
Awesome job mate 👍 as an amateur photographer who's barely started astro stuff, solar photography is certainly a while away yet but I still love watching these videos
This is a really top-notch tutorial, Mark. I already use Autostakkert and Firecapture but learned more than I would like to admit from your tips! I have just got hold of an ASI662 camera which does a fantastic job on the sun even though it is not mono.
@@RefreshingViews As we speak, I'm just trying out a timelapse/autorun for the first time based on this video. Really enjoying the content you are putting out on your channel, Mark.
@@secretstill great stuff! If you do publish your timelapse on the socials then let me know, would love to see the results. As always let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Excellent, thank you. I just repaired my Lunt 60mm Ha that has been out of action since 2013 - simple fix - other stuff got in the way!. Also working on bringing the observatory that has been in deep freeze for even longer. Appreciate the walk-through of your workflow as so many of these tools weren't available a few years ago. Cheers!
Haven’t thought about space in any great depth for over a decade until my 4 year old took an interest. Now going doing very fascinating rabbit hole lol
That is a spectacular image and video. I have become very interested in the Sun lately well actually for quite some time now. (It's amazing how fast time goes by the older we get.) I hope I am able to capture and process as well as you have done in this awesome tutorial. I have most of the software now except for Photoshop. I was actually directed to another software that is very much like Photoshop but without the high cost and no yearly subscription. Just pay one time and you own it. It is called Affinity Photo and it's very inexpensive compared to Photoshop and it has an Astrophotography section in it as well. I watched a solar imaging tutorial this evening with it and it seems quite easy to learn. Anyway, I have all the equipment, a little different from what you have, that I need to begin imaging in White light and H Alpha, as well. So, nice work and I hope I can get my stuff to look as amazing as yours does. By the way, I am English but, I am gen 2 in the states, so I'm afraid that the tea time is out for me and will be replaced with a rather strong coffee! 🙂 Thank you for sharing your time and hard work in producing this video.

@@RefreshingViews Indeed..... Just been, gardening..... And now..... refreshing*.... Tea. Relocating next few weeks.... me thinks..... must get more.... Tea. In*
After shooting my first image of the sun with a Lunt ls50b600last week I am really hooked. The quality was nothing like yours but your video helps and motivates me to try again. I didn't know a mono camera could even be used and will definitely try this now. The camera I have is a ASI220mm and I hope this will work.

Thank you Manuel - try this recorded a few years ago while I was still learning this RUclips stuff. ruclips.net/video/Zkgtdmw3shA/видео.htmlsi=ILKag6rfrEunxCg0
Appreciate you very much for sharing this information & providing real (not cgi) photos of sol. Are you posting any newer video’s elsewhere? I only see the two videos from a year ago. ❤ 8:32
Hi Nacole - thank you for your kind words. Yes, we have been doing some more videos (when work and weather doesn't get in the way). Have a look here: ruclips.net/user/RefreshingViews
Im curious if you could run this final video through something like Topaz labs Ai upres tool to boost the final resolution. Krea Ai also does crazy upscale but also might embellish the scientific authenticity too much.
While you can use AI to boost the details it is “making up the details” based on the machine learning as a result it’s often considered false data - although aesthetically more pleasing. Note the BAA planetary sections don’t accept images with AI for this reason. So yes you can but it’s kinda artificial.
Do you mean dangers? Instant blindness if you looked through an eyepiece and a melted camera!! If you have a refractor, check out the Daystar Quark. It’s a solar observing filter you can use. I reviews one last year - great bit of kit.
Hi, I like to ask you a question about the Lunt 60 tilt for visual use: I also buy a used Lunt 60 tilt and doing visual around my home ( not to the grassy fields-away from buildings) question: I have find out that most of the viewing time, the surface detail looks ( at last to my Lunt tilt) much better than the prominences.... and generally I also prefer the fews in lower and medium power, then higher power. ( with imaging you don't have this "problem"?) Is this a normal thing or is this due to variance between solar telescopes/ personal preference? ( I also believe that maybe the Lunt 40 show the proms better, while the 60 tilt better surface detail...?) do you have the same experience/ tanks for the tip! Miertje... I am still learning.
Hi Miertje - glad you’re enjoying your solar observing. My Lunt became very poor a few years ago. I had to replace the blue filter in the etalon (v easy) as mine become smeared / discoloured. Worth checking yours just in case.
@@RUclipsr-ku4nk NO - be really careful. The sun (especially through a telescope) will melt through any filter sending that intense heat into your eye. Read up on solar observing - and have a look a this ruclips.net/video/gER6uxs4cC8/видео.html.
@@RefreshingViews oh, I forgot to mention that I have ordered a Baader ASTF solar filter which is just a white filter. So I was thinking if I added an H alpha filter to eyepiece I could see the same details as with a dedicated solar filter.
@@RUclipsr-ku4nk alas the deep sky Ha filters are very different from solar Ha in terms of bandwidth and pass through so they can't be used interchangeably. You need either a quark or solar scope for hydrogen alpha views. You'll enjoy your white light views through the baader solar filter - great fun tracking the sunspots.
Wonderful Mark. I needed this video. Several years ago you taught me planetary imaging with your tutorials, Now I want to try some solar imaging and along comes your solar tutorial. Is your scope polar align? I thought I needed to buy a new tripod. Guess not. I already bought a dedicated solar telescope. What is the finder scope you used to align the scope with the sun? Thanks again
Glad you enjoyed it Craig - and thank you for your lovely feedback. And yes, the scope is polar aligned as it's permanently set up in the observatory. The finder is a solar finder: lots to chose from (including homemade options) but this came with my scope: www.firstlightoptics.com/lunt-solar-accessories/tele-vue-sol-searcher.html.
Very skillful processing thank you, Mark. Maybe I lost something but I noticed that you don't calibrate the flat frame. Is this not important in your case?
I did need it with my ASI224 but for some reason (and my inherent laziness) I’ve not used it on this camera. Not sure why there is a difference but it seems to work (for me anyway).
Awesome vid. I’m watching this countless times. Have you ever had the align not work? I had it work the first time in photoshop and then fail every time after. Quite frustrating but I’m still trying…
Nice tutorial thank you! But scientifically, the color of the sun is white, not orange 🙂 or yellow. BTW, can you please tell me, if it is possible to attach a filter to my tele camera (3000 mm focal length) so that I can view this "flame" like around the sun? I have a solar filter but I can't view such effects on the sun surface and the flames around it, only some black points and a bit of surface's mesh. I will be very thankful if you lead me to a filter like that to attach to my camera. Thank you!
You are right - it just appears yellow against the blue sky hence I went for the aesthetically pleasing (if not scientifically accurate) colour! Probably the simplest approach is some baader solar film. This only passes through a small fraction of the sunlight so you can see sunspots. You can get a Daystar quark that are like solar-filter-eyepieces. Not sure if they will fit between a lens and a camera body though.
@@RefreshingViews Thank you.. Yes I use Baader solar film and can see the sun spots.. But I was hoping for a solar filter that can let me view this lava or flame like around the edge of the sun, which I can use with my Tele lense camera.
Damn your captured frames are like my processed after stacking image. Is Lunt that good next to the Coronado wich I own? Is the monocamera that made the difference? I'm really disappointed about my solar scope. Decent but not stunning.
It’s definitely an improvement using a mono camera as you’re then using all the pixels and not just the red ones. Of course seeing makes a massive difference. Note I only included the good ones here!!
Thanks for the great video! I see you've already answered a few questions about AutoStakkert, but the bit I'm still confused about is that you loaded 100 .ser video files of about 30s each recorded at about 100 FPS, so each file should be about 3000 images each, or about 300,000 images in total across all 100 .SER video files. But when you are doing the quality analysis in AutoStakkert it's only looking at about 3400 frames, which is what I'd expect from one of your .SER files. Is that quality analysis then being replicated across all the remaining 99 .SER files?
Hi Jethro - yes each time AS3 (and now AS4) crunches a video, it is repeating the quality analysis to work out which are the sharpest frames before stacking. If you batch up a few files you can see the quality graph change as it runs through each video.
@@RefreshingViews We have the same problem here in Upstate NY. If you could even capture the sun once a week for a month, that would be enough. I will explain later why I'm curious about this.
@@SunShine-kd6td If you're so incompetent at making observations, you can continue to believe in these things. I truly can't believe how you managed to form such a ridiculous sentence in the description, like 'We couldn't observe that our Earth revolves around the sun.' Even a 5-year-old wouldn't say that because there's a logical word for it. Do you want to observe that the Earth's orbit has changed? The job you need to do is easy: Just choose a set of stars near the equator and track its position for 12 months. The only thing you'll notice is that the rising time of the set of stars changes as the moon passes, no longer consistently rising in the morning and setting at night or rising in the evening and setting in the morning. Now, what is the reason for this? Does the dome, as you claim, start moving without reason? You can observe the rotation of the Earth, the rotation of the Sun, and the movement of the constellations. Do you want to see the rotation of the Earth? Compare the rising times of the moon for three weeks in two simple experiments. In the second experiment, look at the rotations of the stars in the northern hemisphere and the sun in the southern hemisphere. I've done the experiments you mentioned, and the results are clear. There is nothing as easy as proving that the Earth revolves around the sun. Even a child can do it. Now, think about what I said and do it. See the truth for yourself. Don't do silly things with a silly flashlight
Hi Craig - it’s a way of processing undersampled images. As the planet / flare / crater moves slowly during capture the software can interpolate finer features. Bit maths heavy if you need to dive any deeper!
Thank you for the details. I'm an inventor. I stick with biotech, detecting & curing TB etc. I've done weii at it, saved many. I know if I tried to duplicate your gear, I'd fuck it up. I havrn't worked since '08...so I ask: how much to buy a duplicate 'scope completely equipped?
Apparently even trolling helps the algorithm and boosts your views whatever attention you bring is good for your channel ratings… just laugh at the trolls 🧌 stick and stones my friend
I'm beginning to get really sick of these flat Earthers and people who deny that space is real. I'm done being nice as well if they comment on my comments..

Have a look here - mine is an older Lunt 60mm. www.firstlightoptics.com/lunt-solar-60mm-h-alpha-telescopes.html

Why is it every content creator always gives naysayers and haters the time of day and comment back on their negativity Sir, it’s not worth it
You’re right, thank you.
Apparently even trolling helps the algorithm and boosts your views whatever attention you bring is good for your channel ratings… just laugh at the trolls 🧌 stick and stones my friend
@@justinremple7986 didn’t think of that
The sun is flat.... too
目视党路过，
I'm beginning to get really sick of these flat Earthers and people who deny that space is real. I'm done being nice as well if they comment on my comments..
You won’t change their minds, nothing will, but go for it.
Great video. People like Steven aren't worth your time though.
Yeah - you are right. I was angry by the one silly comment and then realised I can use it to my advantage in the next video!! Thanks for your kind words.
