I was too slow to hit my shutter release to start taking frames for C3. This is the first one, but I had to pull the exposure down two stops to see this.
Here's a ring-beads-prominence composite using the C3 "ring" image above
The old Coolpix A
Another oldie reprocessed.
My imaging setup for the eclipse. The gimbal was ok for support, but the gear head was way nicer.
I tried to restack one of my brackets and reprocess the data. OK, but still getting some vertical banding artifacts; can't tell if it's in the data (too limited exposure length?) or due to my (mis)handling of the hdr processing algoritm. I'll keep trying.
regarding the geared head, yes, it was a bit more trouble to initially get the sun in the frame with the 500 PF, but once acquired it was very simple to manually adjust the knobs and keep the eclipse toward the center of the frame. The gimbal needed quite a bit more manual futzing to keep the image towards the center over time. Not awful, but the gear head was way easier.
I reprocessed a shot from early 2018, with the greatly improved denoise enhance option in LR. I'm hearing that the scheduled reopening is later this year in December.
ran this composite through Gigapixel AI then gave it an upright crop
another view of the prominences from around C3. click on over to the image on Flickr. It's pretty remarkable to me that, given the right circumstances, one can still manage some interesting detail from an object that is about 93 million miles away with relatively simple equipment.
