First solar shots!

Well I had my first light with my new solar filter yesterday morning.. funny that, sun shines during the day, but without fail the clouds will roll in after lunch.

I took some afocal digital camera shots (handheld), they turned out not too bad, will try again with the ToUcam next week. Pity there's not much activity on the sun atm.

I could only see one small sunspot yesterday, sunspot region 708. So I took some quick pics of it.

Anyway my question is, what post-processing do you do to white-light solar shots? These images were 1/200s exposures, focus @ infinity.





No processing done yet, apart from resize.

Also what are the ideal ToUcam settings for webcam images of the white-light sun?

For post-processing, is there a way to give it a yellow/orange colour, or are they best kept as white?

Thanks
