Hi Alan - I've been looking at past posts and I'm beginning to understand how you

make such spectacular images.  I'll try the multi-stacks with different alignment 

regions trick soon on some of my images.

But did you do this trick on this great solar image?  As far as I can tell I can't

specify a region for alignment when stacking with Astro IIDC.  Was the solar image

a mosaic of simple stacks from Astro IIDC?  It's hard to believe you got such 

uniform detail with normal stacking.

Also, what kind of sharpening did you use on this image?  I'm partial to 

Laplace Pyramid sharpening in Keith's Image Stacker.

Best

Steve

Hi all -

Here is a mosaic from a rare Buffalo sunny November Sunday. 

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Astro_IIDC/files/Solar/ar822wide.jpg

All the component frames were selected and stacked with Astro IIDC using the lunar/

solar 

setting and 65% CI. Image processing and assembly of mosaic was done in Photoshop 

CS2.

The sun was 25 degrees above the horizon when these streams were captured.

best wishes -

Alan
