MDRS SOLAR OBSERVATORY
Telescope Requested: Solar Observatory
Objects to be Imaged this Evening: None
Images submitted with this report: None
Additional Notes:
1. I spent the morning in the solar observatory : the upper dome opened completely, I was able to observe.
2. I took many pictures of sunspots, I am working on them to see how to stack them.
3. I am improving my code : I prepared a MatLab code to follow sunspots precisely and get their velocity, but I need to change many things because I don’t have a full image of the Sun. It’s a lot of mathematical work, but it is improving.
4. I tried to process NGC3587 using AstroImageJ but there were many issues with the WCS for the stacking. Any idea of how to solve that ?
