You can get a bit more out of using a DSLR if you isolate just the Red channel and only work with that, you can discard the G and B channels. I forget all the details off hand but once you have the red channel then switch it to grey scale and it you get more detail from it.
Thanks Jarrod, I'll give that a go

Cheers Derek. Like using a photo tripod it's still a bit tricky to get the sun framed up but once you do it seems to track quite well. That setup definitely works better on a big sensor, not sure how good it would be with the QHY5L-II.
