Description

Sunspot 2997 with prominence on disk rim.

Well, I figured out a problem I was having with my Solar setup yesterday. My download speeds have been dismally slow at 14.8 f/s causing me to gather fewer frames for my images. I ran some tests on my USB cables, camera settings and configurations and found out that I was using the USB 2.0 ports on my Pegasus Powerbox. There are 2 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0 ports. 

After I switched over to the USB 3.0 port for my camera, I now have a speed of 130 f/s! This should make a nice improvement in the surface detail and for a quicker capture rate enabling for more frames per image.

Surface  Gain=0  Exp/frame=7.49
Prominence  Gain=177  Exp/frame=10.2

Thanks, Eddie
