We've already done everything you asked... I highly recommend you read pages 28-32 again as I have multiple gifs and images as well as scientific explanations for what is seen. One user a couple pages back even posted a gift that clearly shows the lens rotates and the artifact moves with it.edit on 23-8-2013 by raymundoko because: (no reason given)

No, the sun is stationary and does not rotate with the lens as can be seen from the prominence. That alone invalidates any questions to be asked about the object as from that point on it has to be considered an artifact within the camera.

Mods can we do something about this guy? It's obvious he registered to just be abusive and accusatory.

That is the gif that shows the artifact rotating with the lens while the sun stays stationary. Its on page 30, 31 and 32edit on 23-8-2013 by raymundoko because: (no reason given)

/facepalm that's exactly what that gif is...the barrel roll using the same images from NASA. For you to think the Sun rotates shows a complete lack of understanding of solar mechanics and I have added you to my ignore list like that guy many pages back. The solar prominence on the right of the gif is a flare that would last for days. It does not rotate with the lens, and if you think it does you are the one being disingenuous, not me.edit on 23-8-2013 by raymundoko because: (no reason given)

Edit: the dark ring around the occulter is NOT part of the Sun, but an admiitted defect of the lens as was shown on page 31 and 32. Absolutely no part of the Sun, other than the prominence, is visible. You MUST use the long lasting prominence as a point of reference.edit on 23-8-2013 by raymundoko because: (no reason given)
I saw your post before you edited it where you came to the opposite conclusion, and you were right the first time.

After doing my own research, I have to conclude that while the sun and everything else in it is rotating in the original "roll" manuever, HiramA did in fact rotate each frame and align them to one spot, so everything appears to not rotate in his .gif. I can prove that this is in fact correct.
Observe the original "roll" maneuver.

It's hard to deny that EVERYTHING in this picture is rotating, including the sun. If we are to believe this was a roll maneuver, which I think we can agree that it is, then it is certain that everything in these frames is rotating.
Here is HiramA's original .gif.
So I compared the images and found that the older images were quite different than the newer ones. The small black dots were not the same. Not only had they changed position (slightly,) they had also changed position relative to each other.
This is due to the changing position of the satellite as it orbits the sun. The angle between them changed, but they retained their shape.
Here's how you would test it. Get two or three images from Hv with a recent date (each one day apart) and line up the dots. You will see they match. Get two or three images from Hv with an older date (each one day apart) and line up those dots. You will see they match, too. Now overlay one set over the other and compare the dots. You will see that the older dots don't match the newer ones. This is conclusive, repeatable, and can be done by anybody. It proves beyond any reasonable doubt that the small black dots and all the dark areas of the corona are NOT artifacts and are external to the instruments.
I already replied to this earlier.

I'm not sure what made you change your mind, and edit your post to say the opposite of what you initially said, but apparently some people are struggling with some cognitive perception issues here.

The corona is not rotating in the top gif. The objects are rotating as the camera rotates, but the corona of the sun is not.
The corona is rotating counter-clockwise in the bottom gif which the OP claims has been stabilized so it doesn't rotate.
I'm not sure what made you change your mind, and edit your post to say the opposite of what you initially said, but apparently some people are struggling with some cognitive perception issues here.
Contrary to what some people are saying about the corona not being completely stable, it looks pretty stable to me in the top image where it's not rotating, in that all the major features of it don't appear to rotate, like they do in the OP's original gif.

Ok, I see it now about rotating. It's "I say" against "he says" what is a reference and what is rotating.
Meanwhile, till you solve this problem can someone explain how the artifacts visibility is influenced by the flare's light? They should be the same , no matter what happens with the sun, right?
This is a very important point, I think, in deciding what they are.
Edit: This is what I'm curious about.

Just to be crystal clear, I perfectly understand that no part of the sun is visible in these NASA pics.
Actually I don't think anyone in the whole thread EVER thought that.
The sun is blocked out, we got it.
But I disagree that the dark ring around the occulter is ENTIRELY made of defects as you're claiming. Some of those markings and dark spots are actually there, in space, close to the sun. These dark spots & markings are the true reference points regarding the barrel roll GIF's.
And if the whole dark ring is only made of defects, great, please make your own GIF of the same NASA pics and prove it to us.
And solar flares, CME's etc. will still NEVER make sense as reference points.
I never accused the OP of faking anything. I accused him of not properly identifying the sun's corona, and you are having the same difficulty.

Your assessment means that the OP faked his images & GIF's.
It's either that or you are seeing these images wrong.
Campfires don't look stable. The corona of the sun changes, but in the time frame of these gifs, not very much, so it's not even remotely anything like a campfire. The fact that you would suggest such a thing makes me wonder if you're trolling.
The reason it doesn't work is because the flares are constantly moving around quickly, like when u look at a campfire.
Yes this is what the OP did, and why he came to the wrong, opposite conclusion, because the corona is light, not dark. The dark spots OP stabilized are artifacts of the photographic apparatus, probably dark areas caused by the baffles.
If you use the dark spots as reference points, then you will come to the opposite conclusion.
It's either lots of Jupiter sized objects which for some reason astronomers have never noticed, which for some reason only appear in one of the two Stereo satellites, or else it's something like insulation debris from micrometeorite impacts that gets jostled and shifts position from subsequent micrometeorite impacts.
