Description

Time-lapse animation created from 107 recordings between 09:42 and 10:38UT on March 22nd 2023. Each recording was 25 seconds long with a framerate of 60fps (1500 frames) and 5 seconds delay between each recording.

The recordings where obtained using a Coronado SolarMax 60mm/BF15 w/Beloptik ITF, stopped down to 50mm, Baader 35nm H-Alpha and ZWO ASI 178mm. Everything was mounted on a SkyWatcher SolarQuest mount.

The best 400 frames from each recording was stacked in AutoStakkert!4 before they were aligned and sharpened in ImPPG. Contrast stretching was done using the SolarToolbox in PixInsight.

The final animation was created in PIPP at 12fps effectively compressing the 56 minutes of duration down to just 8 seconds.
