Sonnenflecke / Sun Spots - 20221114

'Foehn' storm over the Alps, rather good transparency but again really evil seeing today. Rushing foehn clouds (lat. cumulus lenticularis) always in front of the Sun on an otherwise blue sky. I did 6 or 7 capturing series for as long as the little holes between the clouds allowed. Finally, I could stack 30 images out of 1675 from the series all together. Again this result lacks fine detail and the bright meandering hot (almost white) structures close to the sun disk's border are hard to see ... though I again enhanced contrast very much. The final result is so far o.k.

In addition I want to show how bad the seeing actually was, see this 'mountain top' animation! (Version B) of a mountain summit 8 kilometers aerial distance away from my place. I use this summit and the cross on it in particular to get my focus manually spot on.

Sunspots day 7 – result o.k. + animation: mountain top seeing
Sunspots day 6 – result o.k. + animation: ugly seeing
Sunspots day 5 – result: none + animation: sun through clouds
Sunspots day 4 – result: o.k.
Sunspots day 3 – result: o.k.
Sunspots day 2 – result: o.k.
Sunspots day 1 – result: o.k.

Title: Mountain Top Seeing

Description: Bad seeing today again, the rocks on the mountain's summit are dancing. Usually the cross up there is also a very fine target for manual focusing.

Very hard today, with my hands on the photo lens which of course also vibrated.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
