Yesterday, we had some views of the sun inbetween the clouds. And I used my homemade 5 inch h-alpha telescope for the first time since before the summer. There were some sunspots across the surface, but one of them cought my attention. It was right at the edge, and seemingly bubbling. So I decided to make a timelapse. The clouds came and went, so I set the timelapse at 30 minutes. At the end of the timelapse, a small cloud blocked the view. So hence the small "jump" in the recording. And at the bottom of the field, some dust was moving around. Making the wandering shadow you can see there...
Tech details: 5 inch homemade h-alpha, ASI178MM camera, gain 150, 2mS exposures. 500 exposures per image. Firecapture for capturing, Autostakkert 3 for stacking, imPPG for sharpening and stabilizing, Irfanview for coloring and PIPP for animation.
