good morning, everyone,
as I have some time right now I have just tested a software that you may not know : astrosurface ( http://astrosurface.com/pageuk.html ) made by a french guy.
Usually, my chain of "production" of solar halpha images is done following this procedure:
- acquisition with firecapture 2.6
- flat processing with autostackert 3 and photoshop
- pretreatment, alignment, addition with autostackert 3
- wavelets with registax 5.1
- finishes with photoshop (in particular "dark tone / light tone" )
a little long and not always conclusive, especially when it comes to flattening.
Well, Astrosurface manages to do all this (or almost) and often better!
- creation and application of the flat works great
- multipoint alignment and addition works better than AS3! especially for the edge of the sun
- wavelets are simple and very good to use
- H-contrast function (HDR) much better (in my opinion) than "dark tone / light tone".
result on my film of yesterday of 15h52 UT (with a little more photoshop for the finishing : sharpening and colouring):
fs60 with sm40 double stack, glasspath x1.25, BF10 and zwo178mm

the software is in English and its small manual too : http://astrosurface.com/manuels/manualshort_1.pdf

I'm sorry, I'm in the wrong place.
If someone can get this thread into "solar software"?
thank you

Re: do you know "astrosurface"?
thank you Stephane, for mentioning me,
but the demo is from Lucien, creator of the software that made it for me so that I could master the way of doing solar
merci Stephane , de me mentionner ,
mais la démo est de Lucien créateur du logiciel qui me l'a faites pour que j'essaye de maitriser la façon de faire en solaire .

Hmmm... it's confusing!

Re: do you know "astrosurface"?
As I am so poor at processing, with the usual software, I thought I'd better test out AstroSurface:
First trial, finished off with PhotoFiltre for the mono & blackened disk: 6" f/8, PST mod, ASI120MC colour video.
Quite pleased with the result.

Re: do you know "astrosurface"?
Thanks for share it!
I´ve try it and works very very well! Easy and powerful. In my tests it has worked best for lunar and planetary images than for solar images. I´ll do more tests and I´ll post the results here ;-).
