Sat, 07/14/2018 - 13:58 These are closeups of the sun from 7-14-18. Taken from my back yard in Gig Harbor WA. Taken with a Solarmax II 90mm and a DMK41 camera. Enjoy! Amazing!!

You know I have the equipment, just gotta figure out the technique. Good job! Reply Permalink All in the camera Submitted by swingin on Tue, 07/17/2018 - 07:32 Thanks Jim. I do think it is all in the camera we use. I think your going to get just as good of results with the new cam. I can't wait to see your new images, I know your going to do well..

That's part of why I ordered a new ZWO cam ... we'll see if that makes a difference. What are you using to process this and how are you adding color? I do my color through Levels adjustments... Reply Permalink Camera Submitted by swingin on Tue, 07/17/2018 - 07:23 I believe you will do images just like this when you get your new camera. I use a bunch of different tools from, levels, curves, color balance, brightness- contrast, unsharp mask and gaussian blur. I also like to invert the image some times. I think you'll have much better luck with the new cam Jim.. Thanks my man!! Reply Permalink Add new comment Your name Subject Comment About text formats Plain text No HTML tags allowed.
