July 21, Sunspot and Prominences
Camera

Philips ToUcam Pro

Date 21 July 2004
Description Sometimes you get lucky and there is a day when everything is just right. A single video was used for this picture giving both the prominences and good surface features. Amazing what a web cam can do.
Processing Used Registax to process a 30second video (no processing, just stacking). Used Images Plus to process the image. Processed it once to bring out the prominences (stretched). Processed again to bring out the surface details and sharpen (Richardson Lucy). Then combined the two processed versions and adjusted the color.
