Description

Sept 4, 2017 - very active sun. Captured with Lunt Solar 50THa telescope, QHY5-III 178 CCD camera in video mode using SharpCap 3, and iOptron iEQ30 mount. Processed with AutoStakkert 3.

I finally got around to processing this. I was dreading having to use RegiStax. Decided to search the web to see if anything better existed, and discovered AutoStakkert. Runs so much faster, and it stacks and aligns so much better.

Recently purchased the QHY5-III 178M USB 3.0 camera from AstroFactors with the intention of using it as an autoguider. When Bruce, owner of AstroFactors, mentioned it would be a great camera for solar imaging, I decided to give it a try with my new little Lunt 50THa. Very impressed with the results.
