Solar Ha Data from 9/24/24

[young jungle]

This is the best 200 out of 2000 frames.

Single Stacked 100mm Ha telescope at 0.7Å

Too bad I don't know how to prosses the sun

😦

[sly pond]

the only way to learn how to process the sun is to try to do it

like for example when you dont know how to process planetary the only way to learn it is to actually proces it and try

[thin mural]

Can it be done in Siril and stretching?

[sly pond]

you know what

imma process this in siril

and gimp for masking

both are free

[sly pond]

you can use registax for some sharpening, curves in siril to get the color and thats really it

if you wanna make the prominences visible it will be a bit more tricky

[thin mural]

We got a long way for 1.4 to get curves in siril

[sly pond]

huh i thoguth siril had curves or atleast r, g, b histogram transformation

[thin mural]

It has GHS thoooo so we're golden

[sly pond]

wow

Processed entirely in siril and gimp

@thin mural

i also dont really know how to process solar

[thin mural]

Yo sick

[sly pond]

im gonna do it again in pix now

i havent used siril for actual processing for more than 6 months lol

[thin mural]

Bruh

[sly pond]

ok if im being honest the siril/gimp process is better

i didnt expect that but yeah seriously its better

okay reprocessing the pix rn

Pix/gimp

i still liike the siril one better

[young jungle]

That's really good for a first try. This was my first attempt at any sort of solar processing.

[sly pond]

i mean i procecssed a little bit of solar data before but it was only like 3 times lol

[sly pond]

[young jungle]

I think i made it worse actually

[sly pond]

what did you even do to it

[young jungle]

I upped the saturation or somthing idk this was a few months ago now

[sly pond]

also how do you make the sun so hdr?

like how do you get thsi effect and how did you get rid of the very bright spots

[young jungle]

My image is inverted so the filaments are light instead of dark it shows way more contrast

[sly pond]

oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh

i didnt think of that damn

[young jungle]

Sometimes they look better not inverted tbh it just depends on the data I think

I need to learn how to process something other than solar

[sly pond]

lol

[young jungle]

I don't even take my telescope out at night

[sly pond]

oh yeah this looks much better imo

[young jungle]

Sometimes I don't even like to add color and just keep it monochrome

[sly pond]

also tysm for the tip

i was always wondering how yall are able to make solar images look this way

[young jungle]

Ye

[sly pond]

forgot to say this but really nice process

[young jungle]

It was a really steady atmosphere the other day and that makes all the difference

[young jungle]

Already way more contrast showing

I tried to over expose just a little bit so the prominence would pop out better

[sly pond]

a lil better i think

[young jungle]

I think I gave you a different capture then what I processed because the smaller prom on the left looks different than mine. I took an hours worth of captures because I was making a time lapse

I can try and post that but the file is really fussy for whatever reason after I converted it into a gif

Had to compress the file so I lost some quality

[sly pond]

oh wow that is really cool

[warm glade]

This looks great! Ha scope?

I wish to buy one, but you can only image the sun with it

[young jungle]

Lunt makes modular ones that can be converted to nighttime scopes you just take out the etalon(s) and blocking filters and you have a normal refractor. This is the LS100MT. It can do Ha,Calcium,and white light solar as well as nighttime astrophotography or even visual if your into that sort of thing. It was super appealing to me for that reason.

[sly pond]

reprocess

[young jungle]

Nice! I can see more sharpness and clarity on the proms for sure on that one.

[tender swallow]

how i can get collor at the image?

i use siriL

here is my try, its my first sun process, how i can get such these details and the collors like that

I used only siriL. I actualy need to learn how to use Gimp

[sly pond]

I know i said that you shouldnt use ENTIRELY ghs for stretching but for this you have to

As long as the main part is pretty bright and you are looking for hdr use ghs

The colors are really about playing around with curves in gimp and thats all

If you start with red the more green you will add the more yellow it will become

I think i also used less blue in the curves
