Hi Gav,

To me it looks like your gain is too high (and/or not stacking enough frames) and your focus is out.

I find I can get the solar disc at 1/1667th second exposure on the DMK41 and for the prominences I need to drop the shutter speed to 1/15th - 1/50th (depending on the brightness and size of the flare.)

When focusing, drop your gamma levels down to 50%, it increases the contrast on the screen substantially and it makes it easier to judge when you've hit the best focus.
