Any suggestions much appreciated.
You'll need to rotate the etalons with respect to one another to null-out any hot-spots.

You've got an instrumental asymmetry that needs fixing.

Limb darkening occurs symmetrically around the edge of the sun...if it doesn't look like that, the filter is skewed/off-centre.

Nice contrast just the same.
