New Image: I'm BACK! Solar Ha & WL - Sept. 18, 2024

#1

Post by AstroBee »

I've been away for too long but it's great to be back. I mounted the Lunt80mm piggy-back on the Explore Scientific ED152 last night and finally got some solar imaging in this morning.
Sorry I've been away for so long but the summer temps above 110° just make it too unbearable for me.
Nothing fancy today, just a single full disc from both scopes with the usual stacking in AutoStakkert.
I have finally gave up on Adobe and unsubscribed to their platform so I decided to give Corel Paintshop Pro a try. I really like it but there's a bit of a learning curve so nothing fancy today.

Great images Greg and good to see you back! Nice your temps have cooled down too, back to bearable :D

Paintshp Pro. I'm still running 9.0 from 2004, the last release from Jasc before it was bought by Corel. It's what I edit all my pics in, great piece of software. Be curious to see how you get along with this; the price is certainly right!

All the best,
Mark
