Adobe Photoshop · Cor Berrevoets et al. Registax · Emil Kraaikamp AutoStakkert! · Stefan Berg Nighttime Imaging 'N' Astronomy (N.I.N.A. / NINA) · ZWO ASIStudio
The top 80% of 150 frames for the suns surface were stacked in Autostakkert3, and the same was done for the prominence. These two images were then lightly sharpened in Registax 6. Finally these two images were taken into photoshop where final contrast, sharpening, and were combined into a single image show casing the sun spots on the surface, and the prominence below.
First major attempt at combining and imaging our star. It is awe inspiring what you can see on the surface, and how large these things truly are. I hope you enjoy!
