My first dedicated prom animation!

Post by cshahar »

Well, the sun was so devoid of any spots on the 19th, I went to imaging proms. This is actually the first time I have specifically focused on a prom animation. It is quite a different kettle of fish compared to surface detail. This is a 65-min animation. I am still trying to work out some settings, such as how far to go with gamma. In this animation, the prom itself is a minor one but there were some nice streamers during the sequence. I am sure I will improve in the coming days. Please click on the animation for a clearer view. It seems to be artificially enlarged in the post.

ImPPG did an impressive job in aligning the frames. The only issue is that the disk changed orientation slightly, which is not necessarily visible while watching the video, but prevented me from superimposing a black silhouette in a way that remained in constant position. I'll have to figure out the reason. But otherwise I am quite happy with the alignment!

Wow!! that shows exactly what I mean where these two pillars exchange plasma between them, great work :bow

Sometimes when you have proms at the bottom it is easier to turn the video 180 degrees, it tends to make it easier for the eye to watch the right way up. But it is up to you as this was the correct orientation.
