Lovely detail though |
No worries Mike.... the irony is the chromospheric edge is actually pink -red, it's the disk that I give the false colour treatment to.
The edge of the sun has a 3-6 arc second wide limb feature that looks rather like a "burning hedge". While I have seen this in a PST, 60mm or larger h-alpha systems show it quite well.
Another problem is the proms are significantly darker than the disk, something human eyes cope with well, but sends CCD's troppo.
So to convey all of the action on the Sun, I process the disk and limb quite differently. Some like it....some don't....either way I'm not phased.
