The definitive detailed tutorial on how to create breathtaking solar images from your raw data capture.
I have captured and processed thousands of solar images since my prior tutorial, and interviewed many of the world's top solar imagers to learn their tricks and tips. I have poured all of this experience and knowledge into this video.
I discuss best practices for Autostakkert, ImPPG, NAFE, Topaz denoise AI and Affinity Photo.
All images and video were taken by me. All hydrogen alpha photos were taken with my Lunt 100MT universal telescope. Broadband photos were taken with either the Lunt100MT or my TEC160FL with a herschel wedge.
I use a variety of solar cameras, more information on choosing a solar camera can be found here: youtube.com/watch?v=8xrX1wqZmGc&t=119s
For Player One cameras and filters, I recommend AstroWorldTelescopes:

☀️ TAKE YOUR SOLAR OBSERVING TO THE NEXT LEVEL
The Solar Observer’s Handbook is my comprehensive, critically acclaimed guide to viewing, capturing, and processing the Sun.
