Solar Imaging Tutorial: Data Acquisition, Alignment & Processing

In this basic tutorial we explore the process of solar imaging in hydrogen alpha wavelength, from data acquisition to alignment of video to the processing of the output images from the video. This tutorial is meant to help new imagers to the processes, software and methods of acquiring data and using it to create images. Please leave constructive criticism and/or corrections, I'm not perfect and I'm sure there are mistakes! Visit us on CloudyNights in the Solar Observing & Imaging forum.
