Hi Mike,
Nice images. I am no expert, but I think sometimes glow looks good and sometimes its better without. I too think it often gives a more powerful look. Also I recon solar imaging is about what looks cool... yes there are those that do prefer it to be technically accurate, etc but I just like the pretty pictures and when you get one that has the Wow factor :-)
