Stephen,

That's great news.  I'll try it on the weekend with my Scorpion.

Quoting "Stephen W. Ramsden" <sramsden@natca.net>:

Depends on the camera Jim but I always get the surface and proms at the same

time using a PGR Grasshopper, Scorpion or Flea.  I use a high gamma and vary

the exposure rate..  Its easy with a 12 bit or higher camera, almost

impossible with an 8 bit or lower..

Hi Milton,

Like Stephen, the local RASC club runs a solar party the first weekend

of each month as the Ontario Science Center. I looking forward to

trying the colorized view feature but is there any way to artificially

increase the dynamic range so that both prominences and surface

features are visible at the same time. You have to turn up the

exposure in order to see the prominences but then the surface becomes

overexposed.

regards,

Jim
