June 4th, 2020 Full Disc Solar Ha

Post by AstroBees »

Lunt80mm single stack and ZWO 1600mm camera
550frames for surface and 500frames for the prominence detail.
Stacked with AutoStakkert 3!, processed with ImPPG and colorized in PhotoshopCC.
It's nice to see some sunspot activity in AR2765.

Nice image, but if I may suggest just dialling back on the sharpening. In the spirit of offering help and advice maybe you could show your original stacked image before applying ImPPG. PNG version as a minimal.

Thanks

Nicely done, the color choice fits well.

As mentioned above, a bit oversharpened indeed (although that will always be matter of taste as well).

Wow!! the Sun looks like a 3D ball, great detail but perhaps a little less ImPPG will show even more

Hi AstroBees,

Nicely coloured brazen Sun. May be you also want to do lesser sharpening as it is a ball of plasma.
