Nice limb events on Sept 20

Post by gabrieli »

For most of the 2 hours I was out today, it looked like someone was blowing smoke across my live view. Since the events
were so appealing, I risked recording a number of videos despite all the shadows moving across the view. If they wouldn't stack, I figured that I could extract some frames from these videos and present those. Surprisingly, I didn't get any jagged patterns on the stacked image that I usually get when I stack unsuitable images. So, I picked the best of the stacked tiff and processed it further for the images below.

I used a double stacked LS152 + Quark Combo + FLIR 2.3Mp Grasshopper.

Yes Lou, as other have stated, these are really excellent and with the fine surface detail and the extra-fine elements of the prom too.

Thanks for sharing
Terry
