  • Using a Lunt LS40THa telescope and a Play One Neptune-M (IMX178) camera mounted on a Sky Watcher Star Adventurer GTi and capturing with SharpCap Pro, I collected 120 sets of 100 frames, with each set 1-minute apart. Processed in AutoStakkert, ImPPG, and Photoshop.

    Nice job Jason, no flicker on video, bravo (not easy there).

      Thank you! It's been a learning journey for sure! After a couple days of failed attempts I realized that daytime polar alignment just doesn't cut it for long time lapses. I ended up polar aligning on Polaris the night before and it still had more movement than I'd like. I might give the new PHD2 with solar tracking a try.

    amazing. That first prominence was more than 122 000 kilometres long (78 000 milies) or more than 19 times larger than Earth.
    It gives me chills to think that something that large and hot moves through the space as fast as 17 km/s (10.5 mi/s), not very far from us.

    I did the same last year with a Lunt80 and ASI83MM-Pro. 1m captures at 9fps with full resolution creates a lot of data to process. Right now, I'm working on getting an 11-hour timelapse from May done.
    I found doing 30-sec captures at 10fps and stacking the best 10% gets pretty good frames.

      Thanks for sharing! I did 100 frame captures, but they were fast, about 56fps. While I think the results were pretty good I think I need to experiment more to see if I can improve.

    that is a really beautiful yet scary yellow circle. Nature is weird

      Well, actually it is white. We see it yellow because of the Earth's atmosphere :)

    Great video Jason. What software did you use to produce the video?

    • @JethroXP
      @JethroXP  Месяц назад +1

      I use CyberLink PowerDirector 365 as my NLE. But to get to that point I used SharpCap Pro for the sequence capture, Autostakkert for stacking, ImPPG for deconvolution and tone curves, and Photoshop for colorization of the monochrome images.

    What would happen if you were able to hurl the sun at something? What would it look like ? Like smashing a grape against a windshield but the grape is a sun

    If the Sun is mostly Hydrogen and Helium, how come it's color is not purple, but white?
    Aren't Hydrogen and Helium plasma purple in color?

      @@JethroXP Have you seen Hydrogen plasma glowing?
      It's purple in color.
      So is Helium.
      Your link does not explain how Hydrogen is emitting blackbody radiation.
      Do you know what blackbody radiation is?
