About this image

The Sun in Ha. 50mm Lunt with double stack (LS50FHa), B600 blocking filter and ASI 174MM camera. Struggling with even illumination despite having tried tilt adapters etc. Not well oriented image but north towards the top and east towards the left. About 10,000 frames captures in FireCapture and best 5% of these stacked in AS!4 and sharpened in WaveSharp, and curves adjusted in FastStone Image Viewer. 

FireCapture v2.7.15 Settings
