This is one of my favourite shots of the Sun. A reprocess of footage from last April. I took this photo with a telescope specially modified for solar imaging and a fast frame rate planetary camera.☀️☀️☀️

Thanks! My usual routine is to take around 1000 frames of video, then sort the best 200 frames and stack into a still image. Next I use software called IMPPG for sharpening and manual manipulation of the tone curve. Then into Photoshop for last tweaks - usually levels, more sharpening if needed, and colour.

very cool, thanks for sharing! 

I'm always torn between photo and video when doing lunar stacking. My camera shoots at full frame for RAW images but crops for video. 

not sure what my procedure should be for the solar eclipse, any thoughts? 

usually I take a bracketed timelapse for the lunar ones

I've not done much astrophotography with dSLR so I'm probably not the best person to ask. If I was photographing the eclipse I would probably use my existing set-up for the partial stages (I've done this before for partial eclipses) and then a seperate small telescope or camera for the moment of totality.
