Description

Sun FD in H-Alpha 29th of August 2022 - Timelapse

Time-lapse animation created from 462 recordings between 09:58 and 13:54UT on August 25th 2022. Each recording was 20 seconds long with a framerate of 30fps (600 frames) and a 10 seconds delay between each recording. The recordings where made using  Coronado 60mm/BF15 w/Beloptik ITF, stopped down to 50mm, Baader 35nm H-Alpha and ZWO ASI 178mm, which gives a focal-length of 400mm and a sampling of 1.24" per pixel. 

Everything was mounted on a Sky-Watcher SolarQuest AltAz mount.

The best (sharpest) 200 frames from each recording was stacked in AutoStakkert!3 before they were aligned, sharpened in ImPPG and contrast-stretched in Adobe Photshop. 

The animation was scaled down to 2/3 in PIPP at 20 fps effectively compressing the 3 hours 56 minutes of duration down to 23 seconds.

The field rotation is because the sequence was recorded in AltAz mode.
