Description

April 23, 2022 - AR2993, AR2994, AR2995, AR2996 Sunspots

I don't remember the last time I saw so many sunspots in the same tight field of view, been seeing a lot of images lately and I am happy that I got a chance today to capture them, I also captured a lot of videos which will take me some time to create a timelapse.

This was a single 4000 frames video, stacked 20% in AutoStakkert3 and sharpening/color were done using Astrosurface-R3, PixInsight, Luminar4 and Photoshop. very tiny sharpening / smoothing / noise reduction were done to preserve the natural look without over processing it.

As usual my setup is:
Lunt60THa with custom auto focuser and pressure tuner telescope
Televue 5x barlow
ZWO ASI174MM Camera
iOptron CEM25P Mount
