Super-magnification of the sun with real time autofocus algorithms and precise, fast response corrections

Ralph, Is there any lossless format for videos (a stack of images) of the type you posted? I mostly cannot clearly see now, so I study the data in the images. Much of solar, astronomical, satellite and other images need processing, not just human eyeballs that fail with time. Any suggestions?
I see that you used a Televue 5x eye piece. Any comments on difficulty or ease of using that for closer study of the sun? Is there a limit to magnifying like that?
I have some ideas but I have no telescope only some experience with sensor arrays, microscopes, cameras, data of all types, and mathematical statistics. It looks like the focus is a problem. Perhaps an autofocus of the eyepiece in real time would help. To monitor the quality and adjust in milliseconds perhaps. (3D accelerometer and gyro sensors)
