"Flickering" around the Sun - Jovisch - 2021-07-14

Hey everybody,

I've already searched the Forum but didn't really find anything that fits my struggles. I recorded two timelapses recently, both facing directly into the sun, because I wanted that you'll be able to see the sun setting. I used qDSRLdashboard to change the exposure throughout the recording.
When I import the Images to LRTimelapse i get a strange flickering around the sun, which obviously comes from the change in the exposure, as the flicker always appears when the settings have changed from one frame to another.
Editing as well as the Deflicker doesn't really help.

Did I do anything wrong, shooting? is there anyway to get rid of that effect in postprocessing? I've uploaded the lowresolution preview to youtube, so you can check out what I mean: https://youtu.be/drajI-H6Rok

Cheers for any help!

That's a common thing when shooting directly into the sun, because the sun will always be over exposed. There is also an faq covering this: https://forum.lrtimelapse.com/Thread-pumpende-sonne?pid=36576#pid36576

Thanks a lot Gunther, apparently I was blind on my search... I'll try to get the best out of it!
