Yeah I take your point. We all do it sometimes. Myself included.

Ah hence I see why you are wondering. My DMK41 only gets 15 frames per second at best. At ROI though this changes but I have been using the size of the frame to the max. The Lumenera 2-2 you have, what is the maximum frame rate? With the DMK having thin data is only conquered by doing Avi's of 77seconds to get me over the 1155 frames. Now do you see how hard it is for me to get the mosaics I get. Diameter and speed makes it asier for you.
While I agree with your assessment. My normal etalon adjustment produces rather fine detail but not much of the big and chunky looking field lines as in your image and this image. The seeing was wobbly and not enough time to build enough frames to narrow out the bad frames. Personally I thought given the small amount of frames I had obtain this was not a bad effort. However that will change soon.
Dereck, I am not getting a CaK module. I am getting an 80 Ha Lunt single stack. I have seen some outstanding image taken with a single stack of this model that has significantly more detail and I don't need to buy the double stack. I have consulted with some of the top solar guys on the planet and they are mainly all using single stack aperture now. Couple of years ago I could have sworn you needed a double stack, but apparently not now. Proof will be in the pudding though.
