Wow, very nice. I see what people mean about the more 'spherical' look.
I understand people saying that visually the sun doesnt look this way, and for a purely documentary photo I guess it should look flat and white.
However I really love this look, it looks more like I'd expect if the sun had a professional portrait photo taken for his portfolio

For my eyes it is more aesthetically pleasing and artistic than a 'straight' shot, but still has plenty of real detail and data to keep my inner nerd happy.
I'm really leaning towards solar observing lately more than planetary, I've seen so many images of the planets and nebulae over the years, that it sometimes feels disappointing, the sun however has been an unknown to me up until recently, and I am enjoying the exploration of it, and it changes so often that there seems to be always something to see.
Now I just will have to get my own scope so that my mate can have his PST back
