Solar Timelapse using feature tracking with a Daystar Quark

[Howzat]

I ran a 100 frame solar Timelapse here in Portugal using the feature tracking tool. After experimenting with the various modes I settled on the contrast feature. This worked very well over a 1 hour period. With the 4.2x Barlow lens my SW Esprit 80 scope has an effective focal length of 1680mm. My EQ6r Pro calibrated easily as it has been tuned by Dave Woods at Darkframe. Batch processed in Autostakkert and developed and aligned in IMPPG. The alignment was successful due to the accuracy of the Sharpcap feature tracking. Great feature.

I meant to say I used the phase detection feature tracking and a 10 pixel dead zone.
