SOLAR IMAGING with the DAYSTAR QUARK H-ALPHA FILTER

This video will show you step by step how to do a solar image with the Daystar-Quark-Chromosphere-H-alpha-Filter with an 80ED mm refractor telescope. This includes image processing in Photoshop from start to finish with a final image.

I bought the solar filter recently about three months ago and due to bad weather, this was my third experience using it. I haven't received my monochrome camera yet in the mail so meanwhile I was using the ZWO ASI 224mc and ASI 294mc color cameras. In my third experience I also added an IR cut filter to the mix which gives better details and definition which I can not ignore. The IR cut (1.25) is placed at the entry of the camera and not the scope.

This video will show you that even with a colored camera and a less conventional way in processing your stacked image can produce a very good image and at the end and you can be satisfied. The next level would be doing it with a monochrome camera were you can get your solar imaging to a higher standard.
