Thank You! I used the dmk au618 and asi 1600mm for the Ha shots and a DSLR and the EON 72mm scope for the eclipse with a white light filter.

Yes I have and it works well. I try different stacking programs on all my shots and I pick the one I think looks best. i also ude photoshop and Topaz to do final editing.

How large are your files, that might be the problem.

@@sol_man - 4 gig, and yes it does seem to accept smaller files.

What scope are you using and how good is the seeing? If you have bad seeing you will not be able to get a good clear shot. I use the max gain of 300 to try and get the fastest frame rate and only take as many frames I could get in 60 seconds for Jupiter and Mars, you can go longer for Saturn. What software are you using to capture? All the software usually has a place where you can setup the naming and where it is saved. In asicap go to the top right of the page and click on the gear symbol. A page with come up with all solar system objects, click on the object you want to image and it will make a folder for it and the name of the object will be in the name of the file.

Skywatcher 10inch Dobsonian with a ZWO ASI224MC using the same programs you are, I’m also using a 2x Barlow and 7 exposure with 140 gain. I stack 20% of it.

Thanks John, we are really liking it here.

Thanks Marc, I'm using an I Optron pro 30. i also usd a Orion Skyview pro in the past. I stack with Autostakert and sharpen with registax then take it to photoshop or Affinity photo adding color anduse a little noise reduction with Topaz. Mono cameras do the best job for solar.

mjbaransky, Thank you! I use a 8-24 zoom eyepiece, with my 60mm scope, using the 8mm setting the disc covers the whole viewing area of the eyepiece including the prominences. You can see both the surface detail and proms. I get a very sharp view. It is just as pleasing to look as it is to photograph.I would highly recommend this scope.

@@sol_man I am glad to hear this... Are you doublestacking or no?

@@mjbaransky No not double stacking. When I first bought the scope I was double stacking but the double stack was a 50mm in front of a 60 mm and it would cut down on the brightness. I sold it after a few years. I found I didn't need it. I think now they have the 60mm stack so that might be brighter.

@@sol_man side question: do you think you would prefer the 80mm? I know these things can be cost prohibitive. And the 80 kind of is I would say for me, however I would rather save up than buy and replace. Curious of your thoughts if you had the opportunity to get the 80.

@@mjbaransky Yes I would want a larger scope, but the sun is really active now so if I had a chance to buy 60 now and trade up later I would do it. Solar scopes don't loose their value that much.

Thanks for commenting. I think they will add this eventually but most of the advanced planetary images would not even try this software.

@@sol_man true, but if zwo are investing time to develop this software, they must have goals to not just be another player in this software market. Autostakkert and registax are great but they are old, hardly supported, and 2 separate process (3 if you add PIPP). A single pane of glass experience, even a simpler version could succeed, just needs a bit more features like png/tiff, etc

@@davidrankin8427 I've been using Astrosurface now for planetary and do most of the processing in Astrosurface. I do the final tweaking in Affinity photo and Topaz denoise or sharpen.

Please do!

Miertje, Visually I can see both with the single stack. I had a double stack and when using it I lost a lot of the prominences but the filaments showed up better. The double stack I had was the 50mm put in front of a 60mm scope so the brightness decreased. When I would take it to outreach programs everyone liked the single stack better. When using a 8-24 zoom eyepiece I can get a very detailed look at the surface detail and the prominences at 8mm and with the 1200 blocking filter. I haven't looked through one that had a matching 60mm double stack so I can't comment on that.

thanks, that was scary because the mavic mini doesn't have side and upward obstacle sensors and I was new to flying.

Thanks, I've had the Mavic mini for about 1.5 years. I should fly it more but the scenery is quite boring in SW Florida.

This is a hydrogen alpha telescope only shows certain wavelength of light. They would be out of focus anyway.

Check out this one, it is several video clips over 20 minutes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGitfX9tq7qkadU

Thank You, I thought it might be too long, I might add some more to it.
