Thanks Bob, appreciated.
A very nice comprehensive set of Ca K and WL images Ken. Looking forward to viewing your Ha images when they come through.

Playing around with different processing, so bear with me...
Not the "usual", but interesting.
(I think I'll go back to the AS3! and ImPPG)

SoME nice stuff there Ken, and some pretty ordinary results as well.

Yeah, I have to agree David.
Next time........
Ken you have included some very interesting results from your experiments some of which are striking in a positive way. The Ha features really stand out in some of your images. What programs did you use to go down this path?

Gerard,
I basically went back to processing with Registax 5/6.
AS3! seems to work well for me, I'll stick with it.
ImPPG has a bit more "finesse" and the results may not look as crisp (due to the seeing) but they never - to my eye - looked overcooked as sometimes with Registax.
(The visibility of the filaments/ filaproms comes down to etalon tuning - just off band and contrast adjustment)
Onwards and Upwards.
Yes. So many variables to contend with Ken. The results were worth the effort.
