First attempt at solar imaging

Active area zoomed in. DMK 21 stack of 500 frames (with Crayford focuser!)

9am on the 14th AR 1515. Lots of change. Spots seem to be merging. Something about to happen ??

Good to see you getting more shots of the great active region.
The lower focal length images look fine.
However the higher focal length images appear to show some movement or streaking.
I'm wondering if it is from the stacking process.
How does the individual frames compare to the final image?
What software do you use for stacking?

Michael, I am using registax. The individual frames are a bit blurry and pretty consistent. It could be my reference frame.

I recommend using AutoStakkert.
