Solar Imaging with Dwarf 2 & Simple Processing - PIPP, Autostakkert, & Photoshop #astro #astronomy

This video is for beginners using the Dwarf to image the sun and also how to do some simple processing to produce an image. Correction, at 10:22 minutes into the video I wanted Autostakkert to stack 200 frames, however, I mistakenly only stacked 2 frames. I reprocessed it and put the a comparison onto my Astroquest1 Website Link - https://astroquest1.blogspot.com/2023.... Thanks to Frank Rossetti (@frankrossetti) for catching this!
