Details:
Last week the highest sunspot number in more than 20 years was reached, in fact a lot of sunspots are visible in this mosaic, including 3780 that was visible without magnification (naked eye with filter). Some of the panels were spotless so I had to align them manually using solar granulation, but this was successful thanks to the good and stable seeing conditions.
The time of the shot is: 2024 August 10, 15:04 (UT 13:04).
Location: Marina di Massa (Tuscany, Italy), home garden.
Equipment: - Celestron Nexstar 127slt maksutov telescope - Astrosolar filter - Zwo ADC - Zwo Asi 120mc-s color camera.
Processing: - PIPP (debayer and conversion to monochrome using G channel only, with a better quality than R and B) - Autostakkert (stacking) - Registax (sharpening) - Adobe Photoshop (to join panels, add color and finishing touches).
