41 Post Processing AVI Image Stacking Produces best image from many Image Enhancement Deconvolution/Sharpening Image Refinement Adding Colour
42 Image Stacking Single frame from AVI 10ms (1/100s)- some blurring due to atmospheric turbulence Few hundred images captured as AVI or SER file

50 Summing up The Sun is easily accessible to amateur astronomers. Interesting and exciting images can be captured using modest imaging equipment, including Machine Vision cameras. Best results achieved by optimising telescope and camera capabilities- frame rate, pixel size and numbers, dynamic range are all important factors Modern image processing software (much of it free) enables high quality images to be created, correcting for atmospherics, and improving apparent resolution.
51 Future CMOS without Newton Rings More speed More sensitivity Tuneable wavelength narrow band camera!
